 I really could not understand Deathloop or enjoy it, even though it
got a perfect rating from PC Gamer (I think) and a must play.
 

Roboquest has difficulties, but I didn't even play it on hard, it's
cartoony and repetitive though so you might not like it.

 Got it!
 

Starfield, and of course all the Bethesda Fallout's can be easy mode
(maybe not 76?) but have bosses.

 Have both/all.  Stopped playing Starfield but maybe should give it a
go along with BG3 again (too much to learn for me).
 

Pretty much none of those I'd put in ER territory for bosses (Roboquest
maybe.)

Mass Effects, and the newest Doom has difficulty levels too, though I
haven't tried either, I'm sure they have bosses too.

 Was loving it, why did I stop? I have the trilogy.

I can't actually think of anything that doesn't have something that
could be construed as a boss that involves combat.

 You done good!
 Hey Justisaur - please tell Spalls that Elden Ring IS an FPS (too)!! I
mean, it is constant battles  :-)

If you count playing as an astrologer it sure feels like it.  It's just a magic pew pew from a staff.  To the point I started finding that playthrough boring, as pretty much at least the first third of the game all the other attack spells were worse than the one you started with.
Many a weapon, especially the better ones also have pew pews.  My dex build mostly used Bolt of Gransax's art of war (sort of alt-fire) which was like a high caliber sniper rifle.
PS, How could I forget EDF!  Earth Defense 6 is an awesome well 3rd person shooter (though some scoping gives you FP,) and you have all the bang bangs you could ask for.  Also has easy mode, though I suggest a little farming on certain easily farmable levels on hard to get more advanced weapons that'll make it even easier. Play ranger class for classic bang bang play, though I personally prefer the Wing Diver which has limited flight and pew pew sci-fi weapons and is more glass cannon.
Ant might not like it as one of the enemies are minivan sized ants you kill by the hoard.
I don't know about number of bosses, but pretty much only the last level had a Boss in EDF 5, unless you count a mothership, mobile base, and mother ants, wasps, and kaiju which are all over the place.
