Any Shotgun with a slow fire rate is not worth using.

When you get reduced spread rate ... Ooooh boy ...

Shotguns are for people who know how to play cqb efficiently. Having one on your team is better than having one as an enemy.

I can't really think of a game where I don't tend to favor the shotgun.

But they are inconsistent, I sometimes dont even get an xm kill crouching and being very close to someone (between close and medium).

Shotguns in BF1 where so powerful they had to be nerfed. They still work well in close range but sometimes they just don't kill the target.

As for games which have had good shotguns.

FEAR 1: The shotgun was just straight up OP in that game.

Crysis 1: Just tighten the spread on shotgun and you could take down enemies on quite a distance. Loved it.

Bad Company 2: Boy where they fun to use. Slug shotguns could outdo snipers but then they made the sight a circle and lowered it's accuracy. Boooooo! The NS2000 or aka Natural Selection 2000 did a lovely job at killing people.

Warframe: Vaykor Hek shotgun has quite a high damage. Shotguns where heavily nerfed on range though. Sancti Tigris or Tigris Prime are also good ones.

Half-Life 1: Spaz Shotgun with double shot made sure most enemies died with one right click. So satisfying too.

Left 4 Dead: While it didn't have that long range it was so powerful that it made most enemies dead within a second. Even the Tank couldn't handle this shotgun for that long.

After that I can't really remember shotguns that where truly great in gaming.

I would have mentioned warframe.... but that's no FPS.
