  • Open world

Red Dead Redemption

Strong, story-driven narrative

As reformed outlaw John Marston, you ride across a vast, evocative frontier at the twilight of the Wild West to hunt down your old gang. Tense gunfights, hunting and side activities frame a melancholic story with an unforgettable ending.

Driver: San Francisco

Lots of humour

An open-world driving game set in San Francisco where comatose detective Tanner can instantly "Shift" into any car in the city. This enables spectacular chases, a tongue-in-cheek cop-movie tone and plenty of variety.

Sleeping Dogs

Strong, story-driven narrative

As undercover cop Wei Shen, you infiltrate the Triads in a neon-lit Hong Kong, brawling through kung-fu-movie style melee with counters and brutal environmental takedowns, plus car chases. Its tale of torn loyalties between police and gang is the real hook.

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.

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.

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.

Far Cry 3

Dark, serious atmosphere

An open tropical-island shooter where you liberate outposts by stealth or force, hunt wildlife to craft gear and grow your skills. It is anchored by a disturbing descent into madness and the unforgettable villain Vaas.

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.
