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

Isaac Clarke carves through a Necromorph-infested space station with strategic dismemberment while battling his own haunting hallucinations. It is a faster, more cinematic sequel that keeps the original's oppressive sci-fi horror intact.

Gears of War

Lavish presentation

A brutal third-person shooter that defined cover-based combat, pairing the chainsaw-bayonet Lancer and active reloads with a grim, ruined world overrun by the Locust. The campaign shines in two-player co-op, backed by tense competitive multiplayer.

Gears of War 4

Lavish presentation

A punchy cover-based third-person shooter following JD Fenix's young squad against a new monstrous threat on Sera, featuring dramatic windflare storms, co-op campaign and a deep Horde mode.

Dead Space

Sci-fi setting

As engineer Isaac Clarke, you fight through the derelict mining ship USG Ishimura, strategically dismembering grotesque Necromorphs limb by limb. Its diegetic HUD-free interface, scarce ammo and oppressive sound design make it a landmark of sci-fi horror.

Shadowgrounds

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Dead Space: Extraction

Sci-fi setting

An on-rails shooter in the Dead Space universe that shows the early Necromorph outbreak on the Aegis VII colony through several survivors. Aimed shooting, limb dismemberment and a grim atmosphere deliver cinematic, intense horror.

Gears of War: E-Day

Lavish presentation

This prequel to the Gears saga depicts Emergence Day, when the Locust Horde bursts from underground, and follows the early days of Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago. It pairs heavy cover-shooter combat with a grim, horror-tinged tone and lavish Unreal Engine 5 visuals.

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.
