I'm mostly an RPG and stealth/immersive sim gamer nowadays. As a kid I enjoyed stuff like Doom 1 and whatnot, but as I've gotten older and focused more on my priorities I've found those games sorta... prepare for blasphemy... kind of boring. The shooting in a maze genre is super popular and I'm not saying it's bad, I just don't think it's for me anymore. I recently very much enjoyed Doom 3 because it had those immersive elements I'm looking for, and I would put it above Doom and Doom 2 for me now. That's just where I'm at as a gamer.
I still love the feel of older PC classics though, and play early 90s RPGs relatively often. So I'm looking for older shooters that have those elements in them. I installed Quake 2 today with vague memories of it having more to it than Quake, but it doesn't really. It has a mission HUD and the maps aren't as "level 1, level 2, level 3..." as the older id games, but it's still all about the combat.
What are the earliest FPS games with a stronger emphasis on story and immersive elements in your opinion? Games that aren't all the way into System Shock territory or RPG hybrids, but have those added elements I enjoy?
Thinking of trying Unreal next but I'm pretty sure it's the same type of thing as Quake 2.
