I'm a big fan of the Far Cry series. It's a straight up shooter, with lots of vehicle action too. The further you progress, the more awesome weapons/vehicles you unlock. You get a big map of the potential area in which the details are all greyed out, and you have to then defeat enemy controlled stations to take back the area and unlock the map. There's many dozens of different areas you have to take control of, progressing in difficulty, leading up to outright castles you have to assault. If you're interested in playing them, I'd recommend starting out with FarCry 3 and going up the ladder from there.
The more areas you unlock, the more awesome weapons you unlock, in addition to a bunch of other stuff. There's a shitload of "Challenges" available all over your map as well, that you can do for different guns/armor/etc. Hunting challenges that unlock different stuff, buy you have to do something crazy like take down a rabid grizzly bear with a bow and arrow. Driving challenges that will unlock new vehicles. Flying challenges, etc. You can be a nice guy, or a dick, and the game will change depending on your attitude. The most recent, FarCry 5, is pretty much the best of the bunch. You can hop on a 4 wheeler, and drive down the road to then hop in a helicopter with mounted missiles and regenerating machine guns. Or grab a hang-glider and jump of a cliff. Or hop in a truck with a mounted heavy machinegun on top that you can jump into from the driving position. Wide open, and you can just fly around and completely **** shit up. All vehicles are playable. The entire series has some great single player playthroughs.
Differing from htism though, I really really hated Far Cry Primal, but really really loved FarCry 3, 4, and 5.
