95 %

2006 PC

  • Sci-fi setting
  • Co-op or multiplayer
  • Tactical depth

A multiplayer shooter set in 2142, where two futuristic superpowers fight large team battles with vehicles, walkers and giant Titan airships during a new ice age. Unlockable ranks and gear give long-term progression.

Evolve Stage 2

Lavish presentation

An asymmetric 4v1 multiplayer shooter where four hunters with distinct roles track a player-controlled monster that must evolve and evade them. Teamwork and cat-and-mouse play are at the core.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Tactical depth

A team-based multiplayer shooter in the Quake universe where humans (GDF) and the alien Strogg fight objective-driven battles using specialized classes, vehicles and air support.

Natural Selection 2

Challenging difficulty

An asymmetric multiplayer shooter pitting marines against aliens, with a commander on each side running the match like an RTS from above. Teamwork, map control and sharp aim or agile alien movement decide every round.

Nuclear Dawn

Tactical depth

A multiplayer hybrid of first-person shooter and real-time strategy on the Source engine: one player per team commands base building and strategy while the rest fight as soldiers.

Helldivers

Challenging difficulty

A top-down shooter for up to four players where teamwork is everything: you input stratagem codes to call in airstrikes and supplies, and friendly fire constantly threatens chaos. The satirical militaristic-democracy setting gives it a tongue-in-cheek tone.

World of Tanks: Heat

Lavish presentation

A free-to-play 10v10 vehicle shooter that blends tank battles with agent abilities and fast, FPS-style team combat. The focus is squarely on online PvP and customizable tanks.

Lost Planet 2

Challenging difficulty

A third-person shooter built around cooperative battles against giant monsters and piloting mechs across icy, jungle and desert planet environments. It is at its best when played in a team of up to four players.
