Thanks guys, I'll be checking some of these out.

Specifically I'm looking for shooters, but any game that fits the criteria is good.
I'm talking about weight gameplay-wise, so killing another person actually feels like a challenge. Too many games, even those that pride themselves on their realism and grittiness, have you slaying hordes and hordes of enemies, so by the end your character racks up a triple digit kill-count. Even games universally loved, like Red Dead Redemption 2, have an unrealistic amount of enemies and superhuman main characters. Every shootout ends up with thirty bodies.
I want a game where the shootouts feel just as challenging, but the amount of bodies laying on the ground at the end of a gunfight is like, 3 or 4, not 40. Smart, accurate AI, and players have just as little health as the enemies, so running and gunning is a total no-go, you have to actually plan out your engagements.
I know there are games with elements like this, or where these are true to certain extents, but there are always just so many enemies to kill anyway.
I want to have the crater scene from All Quiet in the Western Front play out every time I kill someone goddamnit. I want my character screaming and crying and pissing their pants in sadness.
