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.

Code Violet

Sci-fi setting

Scars Above

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.

Resistance 3

Sci-fi setting

A grim first-person shooter set in an alien-ravaged 1950s America, where you fight to survive as Joseph Capelli. Upgradeable weapons, the weapon wheel and a co-op campaign define the experience.
