The Wolfenstein series isn't indie, but meets your asks. It's an alt history FPS based in WWII, so most creaturish you'll get is dogs.
Outside of that fallout and borderlands weren't mentioned yet, but both have rpg elements and creatures. Fallout is alt history USA while borderlands takes place on another planet.
I bought the Wolfenstein combo New Order/Old Blood from GOG. I tried Fallout 4 and I get bored of open world exploration, I find it's only for filling time for something to do as opposed to affecting the storyline of a game in any way, and I can't seem to get into RPG's all at but it's not a criticism of RPGs.
I got a couple of Borderland games from Epic giveaway and they're quite nice but I seem to lose interest after an hour. Great production on the Borderlands games but I'm not feeling them. I hear the movie is awful.
Yeah I threw out borderlands and fallout just cause most people don't think of them as FPS so i thought it's possible you haven't run into them.
The issue is once you remove scifi/creatures from an FPS, all you're really left with is humans, resulting in everything being mostly military/war.
One other game I thought of that's an FPS but a bit out there is Neon White
If you're willing to look at older games then it does open up a bit too.
Full scale warfare games is what I am best at playing. That's why I never ever logon to online multiplayer, because the bulk of people have no understanding of strategic positioning and outline plays of who does what in a specific situation.
Essentially, it seems online players don't understand losing a battle to win the war. For example, if an enemy is in your sights, check if it's better to let them pass unharmed so your position is not compromised by a third person seeing where that shot came from if not fully covered.
If that's the kind of game you like, then I feel like online is the only kind that does it justice. Games like "Squad" or "Arma" try for that level of strategy and realism.
For online, no, I don't find people as a collective whole are well versed enough in miltary strategies ti fully utilize online gameplay for what it could be. I don't play games so I can win and beat everybody, I play games for entertainment to enjoy some relaxation time.
I get the impression that there ar people online who truly believe that if they win in something like deathmatch that they are better person then everybody else. That strikes me as a hollow empty existance to any sense of validity from playing video games. I do know that 100% of game cbeaters and hackers are miserable losers who have nothing going for them outside in the real world so that cheat at video games on the internet to win to try to feel like they're not a total waste of empty space.
I tried Arma 3 compaign, the graphics wrecked for me and the horrible attempt at voice acting.
