  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Lavish presentation

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.

Shadowgrounds

Dark, serious atmosphere

A top-down shooter where you blast through dark corridors on an alien-infested colony. Tense atmosphere, flashlight-lit horror and upgradable weapons drive the action, with optional co-op on the same PC.

Doom VFR

F.E.A.R.

Lavish presentation

A first-person shooter that pairs explosive slow-motion firefights against remarkably smart enemy AI with unsettling psychological horror built around the eerie girl Alma. Its destructible gunfights are still held up as a genre benchmark.

Quake 4

Sci-fi setting

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.

Aliens versus Predator 2

An atmospheric first-person shooter where you play three distinct campaigns as Marine, Predator and Alien, each with its own playstyle. The dark Alien-universe setting creates tense horror built on ambushes and hunting.

The Callisto Protocol

Lavish presentation

A brutal sci-fi survival horror set in a prison on a moon of Jupiter, where you play convict Jacob Lee fighting mutated inmates with melee, dodging and scarce ammo. Its grim, cinematic presentation and graphic gore define the experience.
