  • Open world
  • Lots to discover
  • Strong, story-driven narrative

A top-down open-world crime game set in 1980s rural America: as wrongly convicted escapee Will Riley you burgle, flee and evade the police while hunting your father's killer. Break-ins, car chases and shootouts give it a classic early-GTA feel.

The Saboteur

Dark, serious atmosphere

As an Irish racer turned saboteur, you fight through Nazi-occupied 1940s France with gunplay, stealth and demolition. Its signature touch is the art style: areas under Nazi control are black and white, and color returns as the resistance grows.

Bully

Lots of humour

As troublemaker Jimmy Hopkins you brawl, prank and charm your way through the crumbling Bullworth Academy, juggling class minigames, rival cliques and school rules. Rockstar's satirical open-world take on school life is full of humor and heart.

Just Cause

Action-packed real-time combat

As secret agent Rico Rodriguez you topple a dictator across a huge tropical island nation, using grappling hook, parachute and plenty of explosions. The appeal is the freedom to cause chaos your own way and hijack any vehicle you find.

Ultimate Spider-Man

Action-packed real-time combat

A comic-styled, cel-shaded open-world action game where you alternate between Spider-Man and the brutish Venom. Web-swinging across New York and the contrast between acrobatic fighting and raw destruction make it stand out.

Deliver At All Costs

Lots of humour

A chaotic open-world delivery game set in 1950s America, where you play hot-tempered courier Winston Green and plow through the city with vehicles, destruction and absurd jobs. Driving fun, slapstick humor and a conspiracy plot make it stand out.

Saints Row 2

Lots of humour

A chaotic gangster sandbox where you lead the Saints in retaking Stilwater from rival gangs, mixing outrageous humor and wild side activities like insurance fraud with a surprisingly brutal revenge story. The entire campaign is playable in co-op.

Just Cause 2

Lots of humour

A massive tropical island nation serves as a sandbox for over-the-top destruction: with grappling hook, parachute and countless vehicles, Rico Rodriguez blows his way through a dictatorship. The story is secondary to the gleeful chaos.

Scarface: The World Is Yours

Dark, serious atmosphere

An open-world shooter that picks up where the film ends: Tony Montana survives the mansion assault and rebuilds his drug empire in 1980s Miami. Gunfights, driving and dealing wrapped in the film's brash, profane tone.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Lots of humour

An explosive open-world shooter where you play a mercenary in a war-torn Venezuela, working for rival factions. You blow things up, hijack vehicles and profit from chaos, with heavy destruction and tongue-in-cheek humor.
