Wondering if there are any good games out there which play like the original Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon games. Games where tactics are completely necessary to survive, and one shot will kill you.

Only looking for single player experiences.

    SWAT series is an obvious pick. I haven’t played Ready Or Not but everybody says it’s basically a modern SWAT series game.

    Wildcard picks that aren’t FPS but activate the same brain neurons:

    Doorkickers: A top down game to plan out clearing structures with different scenarios. Think the planning stage in old Rainbow 6 games but that’s the whole game. Technically you can give real time orders but the fun comes in trying to clear a whole level just with your pre-planned maneuvers.

    Full Spectrum Warrior: The player controls two army fireteams, switching between them for an over-the-shoulder view, and gives commands in real time. The player doesn’t directly shoot. Starts out with basic tactics like one team suppressing and the other flanking, and then gets increasingly complex. A character getting hit and wounded means carrying them all the way back to a medical station. A character dying is a mission fail. Can get tough.
