Brings what grabs you about BlackSite: Area 51: good gunplay, a sci-fi setting and a realistic look.

A linear first-person shooter where you play HAZMAT soldier Ethan Cole investigating a viral outbreak inside the secret Area 51 facility. Mutants, aliens and a conspiracy create a dark sci-fi horror mood.

Dino Crisis 2

Shooting and gunplay

Dino Crisis 2 trades most of the first game's survival horror for fast third-person shooting, letting you blast through a dinosaur-infested jungle with dual weapons and spend points on new gear. A brisk, arcade-flavored dino romp.

Half-Life

Sci-fi setting

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.

Half-Life: Source

Shooting and gunplay

The Source engine version of the shooter classic: as scientist Gordon Freeman you fight through aliens and soldiers after an experiment goes wrong at Black Mesa. Updated lighting, water and physics refresh the look, but it remains the tightly scripted, linear original.

Black Mesa

Sci-fi setting

A loving fan-made remake of the original Half-Life: as Gordon Freeman you fight through the disaster at the Black Mesa research facility, with rebuilt levels, new voice acting and music. Classic first-person shooter action with alien fights, physics puzzles and the extended Xen finale.

Quake 4

Shooting and gunplay

A linear sci-fi shooter on the Doom 3 engine where marine Matthew Kane takes the fight to the Strogg homeworld, featuring the infamous stroggification twist. Squad missions, vehicle sections and fast arena multiplayer round it out.

Doom 3

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.

The Thing

Dark, serious atmosphere

As a squad leader in Antarctica, you fight a shape-shifting alien while deciding which teammates you can still trust. The trust and paranoia mechanics give this third-person horror shooter its tense, claustrophobic character.

Dead Space: Extraction

Dark, serious atmosphere

An on-rails shooter in the Dead Space universe that shows the early Necromorph outbreak on the Aegis VII colony through several survivors. Aimed shooting, limb dismemberment and a grim atmosphere deliver cinematic, intense horror.
