A short single-player shooter set in the Half-Life universe, built around a gravity-defying weapon that lets you leap over buildings and survive huge falls. Its mysterious story keeps you guessing where you are and why you were sent.

Star Wars: Dark Forces

Action-packed real-time combat

An early Star Wars first-person shooter where you play mercenary Kyle Katarn aiding the Rebels, starting with stealing the Death Star plans. Its maze-like levels, key hunts and vertical design set it apart as a Doom contemporary with its own identity.

Alien Trilogy

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim 1996 first-person shooter that recreates the Alien films across 30 levels, as you blast through corridors full of facehuggers, xenomorphs and Queens with a range of weapons. The claustrophobic atmosphere and motion tracker build constant tension.

Half-Life: Uplink

Sci-fi setting

Uplink is a short standalone Half-Life demo built from content cut from the main game. It delivers classic shooter action with familiar weapons and enemies in a research facility setting.

Doom 64

Dark, serious atmosphere

A classic first-person shooter where you blast through 30+ grim levels of demons, hunt secrets and track down the Mother of Demons. The remaster of the N64 original delivers retro pacing, key-hunting level design and an eerie atmosphere.

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.

Half-Life: Source

Sci-fi setting

The Source engine version of the shooter classic: as scientist Gordon Freeman you fight through aliens and soldiers after an experiment goes wrong at Black Mesa. Updated lighting, water and physics refresh the look, but it remains the tightly scripted, linear original.

Insincere

Sci-fi setting

You wake up as Joseph Walker with no memory in a deserted research facility, guided by an AI that is clearly hiding something. A small indie sci-fi shooter built around mystery and distrust.

Black Mesa

Sci-fi setting

A loving fan-made remake of the original Half-Life: as Gordon Freeman you fight through the disaster at the Black Mesa research facility, with rebuilt levels, new voice acting and music. Classic first-person shooter action with alien fights, physics puzzles and the extended Xen finale.
