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.

Steam list of third-person shooters sorted by user rating for which controllers are preferred or full controller support is present.
FYI, the filters are AND, not OR, making this list really small. Kinda weird for Steam to have it like this even for controller filters.
Huh… Yeah that is odd, “or” probably would have been more helpful 😅
Or two separate lists, since controller being preferred probably does generally come with controller support
