A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Damn, I just realized I kinda always subconsciously ignored this series for some reason. Added to my list, thanks.
They're fun and campy, taking most of their inspiration from those old sci-fi B-movies. Some of the humor might not have aged very well, particularly in the second one, but there's a disclaimer at the beginning of each game that says as much.
For instance, the second game takes place in the 60s, and in a couple levels some of the thoughts you can scan are a little questionable.
Yes, I love campy games/movies! The Nixon impression in the trailer sold it for me 😂
Reminds me of The Deadly Tower of Monsters.
Idk if its exactly the genre you're looking for, but Armored Core 6 is on PC, and pretty much all the other games in the series were on console, so the game plays well with a controller. You customize and control a mech in 3rd person and shoot stuff in different missions.
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. 3rd person shooter designed for controller.
Thanks, I'll add it to my list.
Just cause 2 & 3
I'm sorry, it's not a game suggestion, but consider getting a legacy steam controller, or getting the new one in February
Maybe the new shadow warrior games, or painkiller series. I imagine any game made in the past decade would play just fine on a controller. God of War, while having quite a bit of narrative is still very much an arena fighter. The new doom games, while not third person, also fit that slot very nicely. Star Wars Fallen Order is quite souls-like. Helldivers 2 is really fun if you want some casual multiplayer fun. Control might fit the bill. You're free to wander around, but you can also just follow the quest markers for a streamlined experience with solid combat. I hope one of those games might inspire you! I tend to gravitate towards more first person story driven shooters myself.
Some of the Resident Evil games felt more natural on controller than mouse for me. Even though you’re aiming and shooting, the laser sight feels more intuitive on a thumbstick. Specifically thinking of 4 and 5.
