The 8th generation of consoles is almost over – at least it's no longer the /"current/" generation of consoles. And like many other genres, third-person shooters have had a good last 6 or 7 years, with several great games coming out that will be remembered as genre highlights for years to come. In this feature, we'll be taking a scathing look at what we think are the fifteen best third-person shooters of the PS4 and Xbox One era.

Before we begin, however, we want to make an important note: our main consideration in creating and rating this list was not to judge these games as an overall experience, but to focus primarily on their shooting mechanics and their strengths as third-person shooters. If you see games on this list that you think are ranked too low or too high (which will likely happen), keep this crucial factor in mind.
