I don't feel comfortable using a mouse and I have no interest in working on my mouse skills. I play all of my games with either a controller or a keyboard, and I'm looking for 3rd-person shooters I can play with a controller.

I'm mainly interested in action games. I'm OK with a world with gated areas a la metroidvanias/soulslikes, but I'm not interested in full-on open world or narrative-driven games.

Examples of 3rd-person shooters I enjoyed playing with a controller: Gungrave, Vanquish, and Evil West.

Examples of 3rd-person shooters I don't enjoy and have no interest in: Uncharted, The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, Dead Space, Control/Alan Wake, or GTA.

I mainly play on PC, Steam in particular, but I'll boot up emulators if the game is worth it.

OK with emulation? Then start with the first Ratchet and Clank game and play through all of them in order up to the most recent one on Steam.
