Half-Life

Sci-fi setting

The landmark shooter sends physicist Gordon Freeman through the alien- and soldier-infested Black Mesa facility, telling its story seamlessly without cutscenes while mixing tense firefights with environmental and physics puzzles.

Metro 2033 Redux

Post-apocalyptic setting

An atmospheric story-driven shooter set in the ruined Moscow metro tunnels after nuclear apocalypse. Scarce ammo, gas mask management and stealth sections create a tense survival-horror mood.

Crysis 3

Sci-fi setting

As Prophet in the Nanosuit, you fight through a jungle-overgrown New York beneath a giant dome, switching freely between cloak, armor and a lethal compound bow. A technical showpiece for its time, it lets you tackle each semi-open arena with stealth or brute force.

Metro 2033

Post-apocalyptic setting

A claustrophobic first-person shooter set in Moscow's post-nuclear metro tunnels, where scarce ammo, gas mask filters and darkness turn every encounter into a fight for survival. Hidden moral choices quietly shape which ending Artyom reaches.

Metro: Last Light Redux

Post-apocalyptic setting

A dark, story-driven first-person shooter set in the ruined Moscow metro after nuclear war, mixing stealth, scarce ammo and horror atmosphere. The Redux edition adds improved visuals and all DLC.

Singularity

Sci-fi setting

A sci-fi shooter set on an abandoned Soviet island, where a time-manipulation device lets you age enemies to dust, restore decayed objects and solve environmental puzzles. Its BioShock-style horror atmosphere frames a Cold War time-paradox story.

Metro Exodus

Post-apocalyptic setting

Artyom and his companions ride the Aurora steam train across an irradiated Russia, travelling through every season of the year. The journey blends scarce ammo, improvised weapons and tense survival horror with wide sandbox areas to explore.

Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition

Post-apocalyptic setting

You roam the irradiated Russian wilderness as Artyom through vast, non-linear levels, following a story that spans a full year. Tense gunfights, stealth and survival horror moments combine with a bleak, immersive post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

Crysis 2 Remastered

Sci-fi setting

A first-person shooter set in an alien-ravaged, plague-stricken New York, where a nanosuit lets you switch between cloaking and armor to approach fights your way. The remaster brings the campaign to modern hardware with upgraded visuals.
