Redneck Rampage

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A crude retro Build-engine first-person shooter where you play hillbilly Leonard, blasting through Southern stereotypes, aliens and absurd locations to get Bubba home. Its over-the-top humor and redneck setting make it stand out.

Ion Fury

Lots to discover

A fast, 90s-style Build engine shooter with huge, twisty levels packed with secrets, explosive weapons and a wisecracking heroine in cyberpunk Neo DC. No regenerating health, just run and gun.

Serious Sam 3: BFE

Lots of humour

A loud old-school shooter where you face enormous monster hordes across ruined Egypt with a huge arsenal, no cover, just constant strafing and firing. Its chaos shines brightest in large co-op sessions.

Rise of the Triad: Dark War

Challenging difficulty

A fast, over-the-top retro shooter built on a Wolfenstein 3D-style engine, with jump pads, multi-level maps and absurd weapons. It is tongue-in-cheek and relentlessly high-paced.

Serious Sam II

Lots of humour

A garish, over-the-top shooting gallery where Sam mows down enormous enemy hordes across bizarre alien worlds with an absurd arsenal. Goofier humor and cartoonish visuals set it apart from its predecessors, and it shines in co-op.

Serious Sam: The Second Encounter

Lots of humour

A fast old-school first-person shooter where you mow down enormous hordes of enemies in wide open arenas as Sam. With tongue-in-cheek humor, plenty of secrets and co-op play, it is pure arcade action.

Serious Sam 4

Lots of humour

A over-the-top first-person shooter where you mow down enormous alien hordes with an absurdly large arsenal as Sam Stone. Playable solo or in co-op, it favors speed, spectacle and humor over depth.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter

Lots of humour

A no-nonsense arcade shooter where Sam backpedals through vast Egyptian arenas while gunning down enormous hordes of screaming monsters, all with cheesy one-liners. Co-op makes the mayhem even better.

TimeSplitters

Lots of humour

A fast, arcade-style first-person shooter that sends you through levels set in different eras via time travel. Its bot-filled multiplayer and built-in map editor are the standout features.
