First-person games are rendered from the viewpoint of a player's character, or controls if driving a plane or vehicle. They are among the most popular games in the world and Addicting Games is home to some of the best old and new first-person games on the internet!

Perspective is an incredibly important thing when it comes to gaming. With First Person games, it often has the effect of making us feel more immediately immersed in the action on screen. You see everything the main character sees, making it a lot easier to insert yourself into the story. Here at Addicting Games, we have plenty of excellent examples. Ev.io pits you against other players, battling to prove who has the best shooting skills. There are two distinct modes available: Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. So, you can either go it alone, taking your chances in a hectic free-for-all, or join forces with your friends or other random players. Whichever route you take, the goal is simply to get the most kills using the weapons found scattered across the map. Of course, first-person games don't always have to be focused on gunning down other people. That's a common misconception. Take Ships 3D IO, for instance. Rather than shooting at things the entire time (Okay, there is still some shooting), you set sail on the great wide ocean. Everything from interacting with the helm, sails, and cannons plays out from a first-person perspective, making you feel truly invested in the pirate life. There's plenty to do here, and you can even join up with your friends! Puzzlers like Escape: The Bathroom also work great from this perspective. It's an easy way to make you feel more involved in the scene. In this case, you're trapped in a restroom searching for a way out that isn't the main door. Deadly lasers stop that from being a viable escape route, you see. Instead, you'll have to find another way, using the numerous items you can find lying around in the cupboards and stalls. It's not glamorous, sure, but you'll feel incredibly immersed the entire time.
