GameStar crowns the 150 best shooters in an epic ranking

The games will be presented to you by our GameStar colleagues. Among them, of course, shooter experts like Dimitry Halley and Phil Elsner, but also many other colleagues. Along with personal stories, there will also be a few exciting trivia facts about each title.

When establishing the rankings, two points were important to the colleagues:

  1. How important was a shooter for the shooter genre?
  2. How well does it play today? Ideally, you might discover a new gem there – or rekindle your desire to return to a shooter from your past.
Disclaimer: GameStar and MeinMMO are independent editorial teams, but both belong to Webedia Gaming.

We’re not quite as crazy as our dear colleagues (after all, you don’t compile a list of 150 games in one day). However, MeinMMO has a much more compact list of the 25 best shooters of 2025 – These PvP and PvE games impress with their gameplay.
