Are there Cozy shooter games? (lemm.ee)

I want to play an easy shooter where you feel like you're in a flow state aiming at targets, the only time I've ever felt like that was in the PS2 Medal of Honour, kneecap, helmet shot, head shot or up till MW4 original.

I've tried the latest CoD and the cinematics and cutscenes are just overblown.

Borderlands would be a kind of turn off your brain type but they haven't made a new game in awhile.

Helldiver had great shooting but the grind, limited levels and multiplayer means I wasn't too invested in it after a hard days work

I do have a recommendation for a cozy FPS: The Signal from Tolva.

Basically you're a robot in an old robot battlefield planet and you've got to shoot other robots, sometimes team up with other robots and go around getting upgrades.

The coziness comes from the environment, which has some strong outworldliness vibe and it feels slightly lonely but in a "journey" way. Plus the guns feel good and it's probably really cheap right now.

The cons is that the game doesn't feel finished, after a while it gets repetitive and then it just ends.

If I had to describe it, I would say it's an FPS+walking simulator.

"Generation Zero" would be my second recommendation, which is a mixture of Red Dawn, Swedish 80s and big robots.

Note: I haven't played them except for the 2nd entry, but the Far Cry series feels like it is a mixture between FPS and holiday island.
