If you can mind the obnoxious patriotic undertones, Hell Divers is actually my go to game rn. Partly hate it for the mentioned but overall, pretty decent game. I'm not a hard core gamer really (in general) but the game has grown on me and it's PvE so it's fun being able to play with others instead of being toxic.

Fallout games allow you to be as slow as you want with the right builds. It's never too fast tbh.
Robocop: rogue city You have a slowmo skill in the tree right from very early game and you're Robocop so you're a rather slow walking tank. Great game all around.
Hell Let Loose
It's a larger-scale online FPS (50v50 maps) and a single bullet will kill you even up to great distances. There is no rushing in; that will just get you killed. You need to work as a team and advance with a plan to really get a win.
Due Process. 5v5 tactical shooter with (mostly) procedurally generated maps.
Ready or Not has gotten to be pretty solid.
Second. Performance should probably be better (I was struggling before I upgraded), but it is great fun. Very, very dark in subject matter.
Too bad the devs are copaganda pushing alt-righters. Was looking forward to a successor to SWAT but RoN ain't it
Metal Gear Solid series
Selaco, with the way I play it. The enemies kick my ass all the time because I always just go guns blazing. I've had to relearn to use cover and such.
This was actually a strangely chill shooter as it has far more exploration and secrets hunting than I was expecting. Can’t wait for next chapter.
It's really fun. I actually found myself booting up the game just to play the auto-clicker that's in it lol
You're right I flipped way too much burgers :)
I find they kick my ass because they're often hard to see until they're already shooting at me
Look for single player stuff, I found the Bioshock games incredibly well paced.
Someone else mentioned Prey (2017), I'll echo that here because for my money it's the best those games ever get. Also the original System Shock holds up amazingly well.

Are you explicitly looking for competitive multiplayer games? Single player shooters like Prey, or the BioShock games, might be able to fulfill what you're looking for. I like Helldivers 2, as well. It's not slow per se, but your fighting AI and not people so insane reflexes are far from important. It's coop but very worth your time.
Arma Reforger
Indiana Jones. Stealth and hand to hand are gonna get you to the end better than trying to one man army it
The Far Cry games pretty much always allow a sniper and/or stealth option. Some of the scripted mission sequences can be fast paced, but it's largely open world. If you're not familiar with them, stick to the games with numbers in the titles for starters. Probably not 6. Maybe not 2 this day and age. 3-6 all exist with a particular style in mind.
Unless you're anti ubisoft
Virtua cop
You have to reload "manually" 😁
Postal 2
if you wouldn't mind 3rd person stuff then I would recommend "conflict: " game series
Generation Zero. Player power builds slowly, especially in single player.
