Few FPS games get the intensity of warfare and combat like Insurgency: Sandstorm does. Each shootout feels distinct, and almost scary, as you attempt to battle through the dust-covered streets of maps like Hideout or the tightly-packed walls of Ministry. If you've been looking for a tactical shooter that offers both co-op and PvP-based teamplay, grab Insurgency: Sandstorm while it's at its lowest ever price.
As someone who typically plays the best FPS games whenever I have free time, Insurgency: Sandstorm feels distinct, even alongside other fast-paced, arcade-style experiences. I remember playing the original game back in 2014, and the difference between Insurgency and Call of Duty: Ghosts (which I'd been playing a lot of the time) put Activision to shame.
Insurgency: Sandstorm does everything I could hope for from a sequel, with notably improved gunplay as a consequence of moving away from the iconic, but limiting, Source engine to Unreal. The improved visuals help immerse you in this conflict-heavy world, while the thrill of working well as a team in this multiplayer game is second-to-none.
While Insurgency: Sandstorm does offer more realistic combat than games like Battlefield or Call of Duty, it isn't to the extent that it's hostile to newcomers. It's a bridge between arcade-like shooters and the ultra-realistic and methodical experiences of games like Ready or Not. After spending hours narrowly avoiding RPGs and focusing on my movement in Sandstorm, I was more prepared to engage with other tactical FPS titles.
If you've been wanting to play a realistic FPS that appreciates how valuable your time is, Insurgency: Sandstorm is just $9.89 / £8.24 at Humble Bundle right now. That's a huge 67% off, and the lowest price the game has ever been, so it's certainly worth giving a try if you've been craving that thrill of the (gun)fight.
You only have until Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET / 2 AM BST (on Friday, August 1) to grab this deal. We have no idea when this game might next receive a discount of this size.
Despite years of new PC games popping up and taking the spotlight away for a short time, Insurgency: Sandstorm remains one of the best PC games I've played, so it's worth grabbing at such a deep discount. If you're after something free, read our list of the best free PC games, and while it's not on there, I recommend Delta Force who anyone who likes the vibes of Insurgency: Sandstorm.
