An atmospheric Metroidvania where you shoot your way through a sprawling, alien undersea city with the help of companion buddies. It focuses on discovery, backtracking and 2D action combat.

Jak 3

Jak 3 blends platforming, third-person shooting and vehicle driving across a sprawling desert wasteland and a hub city. With Jak's light and dark powers and Daxter's quips, it is a funny, energetic finale to the trilogy.

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time

AM2R: Return of Samus

Sci-fi setting

A fan-made remake of Metroid II that blends classic Samus Aran gameplay with modern controls, expanded areas and punchy boss fights. Hunting the Metroids across planet SR388 is atmospheric and rewards thorough exploration.

Shadow Complex

Shooting and gunplay

A 2.5D Metroidvania where you explore a huge underground military complex, using new weapons and gadgets to unlock sealed-off areas. Its satisfying gunplay and blend of action and backtracking drive the appeal.

Rusted Moss

Open world

You explore a decaying world where rust and time have overtaken the machines of old, using a grappling hook to reach new areas. Bullet-hell inspired fights against monstrous machines and witches reward you as new powers open up the map.

Axiom Verge 2

Jumping and platforming

A metroidvania with a large, interconnected world where new abilities and a drone unlock secrets and shortcuts. It continues the Axiom Verge universe but works fine without playing the original first.

Jak II

Open world

The sequel swaps the bright island world for a grim, open dystopian city, blending tight platforming with gunplay, vehicles and a more mature revenge story. Daxter's wisecracks keep it fun, while its missions are notoriously tough.
