Alien: Isolation

Sci-fi setting

A nerve-shredding survival horror game where, as Amanda Ripley, you are hunted through Sevastopol station by an unpredictable, unkillable Alien. Its faithful lo-fi retro-futurist look from the 1979 film and constant dread make hiding in lockers terrifying.

As a stranded astronaut caught in a time loop, you fight across a constantly shifting alien planet. Frantic bullet-hell shooting and a dark, enigmatic story make every run intense and punishing.

Cronos: The New Dawn

Dark, serious atmosphere

Bloober Team's survival horror casts you as a Traveler moving through a retro-futuristic, ruined Poland, from the 1980s to the apocalypse. Scarce ammo, monsters that merge unless you burn their corpses, and a layered time-travel plot keep the tension high.

Steel Seed

As Zoe, you sneak and fight your way through a hostile underground facility ruled by AIs, accompanied only by your drone Koby. It blends stealth, action and exploration in a bleak sci-fi atmosphere.

Singularity

Sci-fi setting

A sci-fi shooter set on an abandoned Soviet island, where a time-manipulation device lets you age enemies to dust, restore decayed objects and solve environmental puzzles. Its BioShock-style horror atmosphere frames a Cold War time-paradox story.

Saros

Sci-fi setting

Housemarque's spiritual follow-up to Returnal: a frantic third-person bullet-hell shooter on the eerie world of Carcosa, where each death feeds persistent progression and pushes the cosmic-horror mystery forward.
