  • 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.

Maneater

Open world

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.

Saints Row

Lots of humour

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

Lots of humour

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.

Just Cause 3

Lavish presentation

A chaotic open-world sandbox where you zip across a Mediterranean island with grappling hook, parachute and wingsuit, blowing enemy bases apart in spectacular physics-driven explosions. The story is an afterthought; creative destruction is the whole point.

Just Cause 2

Open world

A massive tropical island nation serves as a sandbox for over-the-top destruction: with grappling hook, parachute and countless vehicles, Rico Rodriguez blows his way through a dictatorship. The story is secondary to the gleeful chaos.

Rage 2

Lavish presentation

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.

Just Cause 4

Open world

An over-the-top open-world action sandbox where you swing with a grapple hook, glide with a wingsuit and blow up everything across Solis. Extreme weather like tornadoes adds extra chaos to the playground.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Lavish presentation

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.
