Bulletstorm

Mayhem And Destruction Everywhere

• Players can use environmental hazards to kill their enemies
• Large variety of strange, yet complex weapons

Bulletstorm is one of those games that came out back when adult humor, ridiculous shooting mechanics, and compelling stories were the main attraction. This game not only rewards players for killing their enemies in different and creative ways, but it also allows them to feel extremely overpowered as they decimate the hordes of enemies before them.

Players can take advantage of the various weapons in the game, and also use the environmental hazards around them, such as electricity, to deal with anyone who crosses their path.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus

Challenging, But Skill Gives An Advantage

• Over-the-top story
• Players get new skills after a specific point in the game

When played on the hardest difficulty available, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is by no means an easy game. However, as players progress through the story and get more comfortable with the shooting mechanics, and the way enemies work, they might find it increasingly easier to deal with them.

On top of this, players will get a few new special skills after a certain point in the game, which will further increase their ability to face any obstacles in their way. With an over-the-top story and a heartwarming sense of camaraderie, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is, overall, a great title.

BioShock Infinite

Vigors Can Make Or Break A Battle

• Vigors give Booker a great advantage
• Columbia isn’t what it appears to be

The BioShock franchise has always been known for presenting players with strange utopic societies run by cruel villains, that turn out to be dystopias full of horrors and inequality. Rapture from the first two games is a great example of this, and so is the floating city of Columbia from BioShock Infinite. At a glance, the city appears to be the ultimate paradise. However, as players progress through the story, they’ll quickly notice that more than a solid community of loving people, Columbia harbors individuals with religious fanaticism and a proclivity to violence.

During combat, players can not only use a wide variety of weapons to deal with their enemies, but also select a group of Vigors to give them superhuman abilities. These can range from throwing deadly fireballs to levitating enemies to incapacitate them, and much more. Vigors give Booker DeWitt a solid advantage in combat and present players with a chance to feel overpowered.

Halo Infinite

Playing As Master Chief Is Always Empowering

• The grappling hook makes the experience more fun
• Many enemies cower in fear when they see the Master Chief

Ever since the first Halo game was released in the early 2000s, playing as the Master Chief has been extremely empowering, as players can deal with hordes of Covenant soldiers in the blink of an eye.

Granted, enemies like Elites, the Flood, and Brutes are not that easy to deal with. However, there’s just something very satisfying about seeing groups of Grunts running away from the Master Chief in horror as they yell “Demon!”. The addition of the grappling hook in Halo Infinite makes the experience even more entertaining and allows for combat mechanics to be more fast-paced. This, along with the various multiplayer maps available, makes the game great.

Cyberpunk 2077

Enough Cyberware And Weapon Upgrades Make V A Menace

• Fast-paced action
• Many weapons are broken in the best possible way

It’s fair to say that when Cyberpunk 2077 was first released, it wasn’t in the best condition. However, over the years, the game has been improved upon and patched significantly, delivering an outstanding experience that most players love nowadays. Cyberpunk 2077 not only features devastating weapons that can be upgraded, but also useful Cyberware augmentations that allow V to be overpowered. Cyberware like the Gorilla Arms makes it possible for V to throw devastating punches, turning their fists into a deadly weapon.

This, along with the fast-paced combat mechanics that this title features, make the experience overall very entertaining, and will undoubtedly give players the feeling of power that they’re looking for.

Borderlands 2

Several Weapons Deal Considerable Damage

• Unique art style
• Wide range of weapons to use

The Borderlands franchise is known for many things, including the different weapons at players’ disposal, and, of course, the distinctive artwork that the titles have. When the first game was released back in the late 2000s, many thought that it would just be another FPS game with nothing new to offer. However, this was quickly proven wrong as the amazing planet of Pandora presented players with endless opportunities to explore, face formidable enemies and collect deadly weapons. All while also including greatly-timed humor and various interesting elements that complemented the experience well.

When Borderlands 2 was released, it managed to maintain the standards that its predecessor had established, while also improving on other aspects, and implementing a few new elements of its own. The game features various weapons with considerable elemental damage, and, with enough skill, players will be the ultimate threat in Pandora. Those who’ve already completed every game of the franchise and want another title offering a similar experience will have no shortage of options.

DOOM Eternal

Slaying Hordes Of Demons To A Metal Soundtrack Is Amazing

• The combat mechanics and music pair very well
• Wide variety of weapons

The DOOM franchise has been around for more than three decades at the time of writing this article, and ever since the first title was released, players have had the chance to feel overpowered as they decimate hordes of demonic soldiers.

Modern graphics and hardware have raised the bar and allowed studios to give their games better mechanics and incredibly realistic graphics, which are some of the elements that make DOOM Eternal great. While the Ultra Nightmare is undoubtedly a challenge, with enough patience and skill, players can survive and send the vicious demonic forces back to hell. And if players want the ultimate feeling of being overpowered, any other difficulty will be perfect for it, making them the ultimate saviors of Earth. DOOM Eternal is, without a doubt, one of the toughest FPS games out there, but there are others that are even harder.
