  • Sci-fi setting
  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Puzzles and brain teasers

A 90s pre-rendered sci-fi adventure in which you solve puzzles in a secret Russian base and fight rail-shooter-style sequences in a cockpit to stop a world-ending superweapon.

Galerians

Challenging difficulty

A PlayStation survival horror where young Rion has no weapons and fights with psychic powers that must be recharged by taking drugs. Pre-rendered backgrounds and a bleak sci-fi conspiracy create an oppressive atmosphere.

Penumbra: Black Plague

Puzzles and brain teasers

A claustrophobic first-person horror game set in an underground research facility, where you survive through physics-based puzzles and hiding rather than weapons. Atmosphere and fear of the unknown matter far more than combat.

Dino Crisis

Puzzles and brain teasers

Capcom's survival horror classic sends agent Regina into a research facility overrun by dinosaurs. Scarce ammo, puzzles and relentless raptors keep the tension high throughout.

Dead Reset

Strong, story-driven narrative

A blood-soaked horror thriller where you play a kidnapped surgeon in an underwater facility, dying and looping again and again to uncover the truth behind a parasitic horror.

Half-Life

Challenging difficulty

The landmark shooter sends physicist Gordon Freeman through the alien- and soldier-infested Black Mesa facility, telling its story seamlessly without cutscenes while mixing tense firefights with environmental and physics puzzles.

The Way

Puzzles and brain teasers

A pixel-art sci-fi platformer in the vein of Another World and Flashback: you travel to an alien planet seeking a way to bring a loved one back to life. Puzzles, platforming and exploration form the core.

Hail to the Rainbow

Puzzles and brain teasers

A gloomy, story-driven adventure set in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world, where you guide the lonely Ignat through puzzles and uncover the secrets of the chaos around him. I know little about the game's details, so this rating relies mostly on the metadata.

Aspis

Strong, story-driven narrative

An atmospheric mystery thriller set in an alternate late-80s USSR, where you play a grieving scientist exploring a cybernetics institute and hopping between distorted realities of a simulation experiment.

Hollowbody

Focus on a single character

A short tech-noir survival horror set in an abandoned British city: as smuggler Mica you search for your missing partner with scarce resources. It mixes exploration, puzzles and gunplay in the spirit of classic PS1-era horror games.
