  • Open world
  • Strong character progression

Realistic visuals

A tropical holiday resort turns into a zombie nightmare: you brutally melee your way across the open island of Banoi with crafted and modded weapons, level up your survivor, and ideally team up with up to three friends in co-op.

Tom Clancy's The Division

Strong character progression

A cover-based looter shooter set in a snowbound, pandemic-ravaged Manhattan, where you team up with friends to clear missions and chase ever-better gear. The PvPvE Dark Zone adds tension, since any other agent might turn rogue at any moment.

The Forest

Dark, serious atmosphere

After a plane crash you build shelters and traps in a dense forest while tribes of cannibals stalk and attack you. Creepy mutant-filled caves and the mystery of your missing son drive the exploration, and it's best played with friends in co-op.

Days Gone

Dark, serious atmosphere

As biker Deacon St. John you roam a Freaker-infested Oregon, maintaining your motorcycle and surviving massive hordes that flood entire valleys. A gritty, emotional story about loss and loyalty set in a tense open world.

Dune: Awakening

Strong character progression

A survival MMO on Arrakis where you battle thirst, sandstorms and sandworms, build bases and fight rival guilds over precious spice. Its draw is a faithful, atmospheric take on the Dune universe, including the lore's Mentat and Bene Gesserit skill paths.

Stalzone

Lots to discover

An extraction shooter set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where anomalies and rival factions shape the danger. Unlike many genre peers, it aims to let you keep your progress instead of constantly starting over.
