  • Lots of humour
  • Lavish presentation
  • Action-packed real-time combat

Gory first-person melee mayhem across a sun-soaked, zombie-infested Los Angeles, built around a remarkably detailed dismemberment system and crafted weapon mods. Its tone leans toward tongue-in-cheek B-movie satire rather than true horror.

Saints Row

Open world

A chaotic open-world shooter set in the desert city of Santo Ileso, where you and your friends build a criminal empire from scratch. Over-the-top action, humor and heavy customization take center stage.

Saints Row: The Third

Open world

An over-the-top open-world sandbox where the Saints take over Steelport with absurd weapons, outrageous stunts and relentless silliness. It never takes itself seriously and can be played entirely in co-op.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Open world

An explosive open-world shooter where you play a mercenary in a war-torn Venezuela, working for rival factions. You blow things up, hijack vehicles and profit from chaos, with heavy destruction and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Dead Island

Strong character progression

A tropical holiday resort turns into a zombie nightmare: you brutally melee your way across the open island of Banoi with crafted and modded weapons, level up your survivor, and ideally team up with up to three friends in co-op.

Maneater

Strong character progression

You play a shark that eats its way through an open-world Gulf Coast, growing and mutating as it feeds. A satirical reality-TV narrator and satisfying evolution upgrades define the experience.

How to Survive

Strong character progression

An isometric zombie survival action game on an island chain where you manage hunger, thirst and sleep while crafting makeshift weapons from scavenged junk. Kovac's tongue-in-cheek survival guide and couch co-op keep it lighthearted.

Saints Row 2

Open world

A chaotic gangster sandbox where you lead the Saints in retaking Stilwater from rival gangs, mixing outrageous humor and wild side activities like insurance fraud with a surprisingly brutal revenge story. The entire campaign is playable in co-op.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Lots to discover

As CJ you return to Los Santos and fight your way across a huge state full of gang wars, corrupt cops and absurd side activities. Vehicles, shootouts, RPG-like stats and a legendary radio soundtrack make it one of the most expansive sandbox classics.
