Mycopunk

Sci-fi setting

A cooperative first-person shooter where a squad of misfit robot exterminators clears a fungus-ridden planet, mixing and upgrading loadouts along the way. Sardonic corporate humor and a bold, colorful style give it its own flavor.

Sunset Overdrive

Open world

A loud, colorful open-world action shooter where you grind across rooftops, wall-run and blast mutants with absurd weapons. The fluid traversal and irreverent humor set it apart.

Shadow Warrior 2

Lots of humour

A frantic first-person shooter where wisecracking Lo Wang slices and shoots through demon hordes with blades, guns and magic. Loot, skill upgrades and four-player co-op give it strong replay value.

Deep Rock Galactic

Sci-fi setting

Play as gruff space dwarves carving through fully destructible procedural caves with up to three friends, mining minerals and holding off massive alien swarms. Complementary classes, dry humor and a famously wholesome community make every dive a blast – Rock and Stone!

Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

Sci-fi setting

A cooperative first-person roguelite shooter where a team of dwarves tunnels through fully destructible, procedurally generated caves on Hoxxes IV, fighting alien swarms. Teamwork, class roles and progression across runs are the core appeal.

Rage 2

Open world

A neon-soaked, chaotic open-world shooter set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, driven by punchy gunplay combined with flashy Nanotrite powers. The story is thin, but vehicle combat and over-the-top humor keep the mayhem going.

Saints Row IV

Open world

An utterly unhinged open-world satire where you, as President of the Saints, sprint, leap and blast aliens with superpowers across a simulated Steelport. Silliness, pop-culture parody and chaotic fun come well before any realism.

Warframe

Strong character progression

A fast free-to-play co-op shooter where you play a space ninja, flipping, slashing and gunning across the solar system while collecting and modding dozens of Warframes. Beneath the deep grind lies a surprisingly strange and memorable story.
