Overload

Shooting and gunplay

Overload is a six-degrees-of-freedom shooter that revives the Descent formula: you fly weightlessly through tight mine complexes, blasting robots and hunting for keys and secrets. Precise controls and fast, frantic combat are the core appeal.

Descent 3

Shooting and gunplay

A six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you fly your ship freely through tight tunnels and caverns, fighting hostile robots. Fully three-dimensional movement with no fixed up or down makes it distinctive and demanding.

Descent

Shooting and gunplay

A pioneering six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you pilot a ship in every direction through twisting mine tunnels, destroying hostile robots. Disorienting true-3D mazes and the hunt for keycards give it its unique appeal.

Forsaken

Shooting and gunplay

A fast 1998 sci-fi shooter where you pilot a hovering craft through twisting tunnels of a ruined future world, fighting in every direction. Its full six-degrees-of-freedom movement and frantic multiplayer deathmatch set it apart.

Terminal Velocity

Fast pace

A fast-paced 1995 arcade flight combat shooter that favors simple controls and intense dogfights over realistic flight simulation. You blast through futuristic landscapes in sci-fi jets, shooting down everything in your path.

System Shock

Interconnected level design

This remake of the cult classic leaves you alone on the Citadel space station, ruled by the deranged AI SHODAN. You explore sprawling interconnected levels, fight to survive, solve puzzles and piece together the story through audio logs in a bleak cyberpunk atmosphere.

Receiver

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist first-person shooter where every gun action is manual: ejecting the magazine, loading rounds one by one, cocking the hammer. Randomized levels and scattered tapes tell a dark story in fragments, while turrets and drones punish every mistake.
