story games are still flourishing, but as console exclusives like Horizon zero dawn, god of war and (to some degree) Halo.

Luckily, most of the time you just to have wait about a year to get them on PC, often for a cheaper price too.

Also single player FPS games still exist, just not standalone as they used to.

A tiny nitpick - Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War (not the recent sequel that just came out) aren't console exclusives anymore (but have been for the longest time), you can buy both of them on Steam now.

Yup, more like console timed - exclusives,

Ports will always be hindered by having been designed around a different interface (and sometimes performance available) first.

You can see this well in comparing Crysis 1 with 2 & 3.

Yup, many ported games suffer a lot in terms of optimization, especially when they outsource to other smaller studios to do the job for them.

But its certainly better than not having story games at all. Sony's story games are really really good, and they finally realized that releasing on PC is a win-win for everyone, more money for Sony, more games for PC, because most of the time no one wants to switch from PC to PlayStation

Just buy a controller? They're pretty cheap and the superior way to play many games. Also IMO it's more relaxing to sit back with a controller, kb&m I find is more high-intensity.

Many games, yes (I do use them for platformers and the like), FPSes - hell no !

This is not just about gamepad console => m&k PC, by the way.
