A linear sci-fi shooter on the Doom 3 engine where marine Matthew Kane takes the fight to the Strogg homeworld, featuring the infamous stroggification twist. Squad missions, vehicle sections and fast arena multiplayer round it out.

F.E.A.R.

Lavish presentation

A first-person shooter that pairs explosive slow-motion firefights against remarkably smart enemy AI with unsettling psychological horror built around the eerie girl Alma. Its destructible gunfights are still held up as a genre benchmark.

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Co-op or multiplayer

A blockbuster military shooter set in a ravaged near-future America, pairing a linear, set-piece-driven campaign (with Riley the dog) with a deep multiplayer suite and the alien-fighting Extinction co-op mode.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Lavish presentation

An intense first-person shooter that pairs slow-motion gunfights against smart AI soldiers with unsettling supernatural horror centered on the vengeful Alma. Mech sequences and movable cover add variety to its tightly paced, linear scares.

Killing Floor III

Co-op or multiplayer

A cooperative horde shooter set in a grim future where squads fend off waves of mutated Zeds while upgrading classes, weapons and skills. The focus is on fast, gory action rather than narrative.

Haze

Realistic visuals

A 2008 first-person shooter in which you play a soldier for a private military corporation, using the drug Nectar to boost your abilities until you realize you are fighting for the wrong side. The drug mechanic alters perception and combat, but the game fell short of expectations.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III

Lavish presentation

A futuristic military shooter with cybernetically enhanced soldiers, wall-running and fast, fluid movement. Beyond its dark, co-op-playable campaign, the real draws are the competitive multiplayer and the fan-favorite Zombies mode.

Resistance: Fall of Man

Action-packed real-time combat

A grim first-person shooter set in an alternate 1951 where you play Sgt. Nathan Hale fighting an alien invasion across ravaged Britain. It stands out for blending a World War II look with sci-fi and for its inventive arsenal.
