Horizon Zero Dawn

Tactical depth

As hunter Aloy you roam a lush post-apocalyptic wilderness full of animal-like machines that you take apart with bows, traps and tactics. A gripping sci-fi mystery about the fall of the old world ties it all together.

Death Stranding

Dark, serious atmosphere

Hideo Kojima's singular courier odyssey turns traversal itself into the game: balancing cargo, planning routes across haunting terrain, and building roads and bridges with unseen fellow players. It wraps this in a surreal, melancholic story about death and human connection.

Days Gone

Dark, serious atmosphere

As biker Deacon St. John you roam a Freaker-infested Oregon, maintaining your motorcycle and surviving massive hordes that flood entire valleys. A gritty, emotional story about loss and loyalty set in a tense open world.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Lavish presentation

Hideo Kojima's sequel sends Sam on grueling delivery routes across Mexico and Australia, centered on route planning, infrastructure building and asynchronous cooperation with other players. It pairs this with a bizarre, lavishly cinematic story and more combat options than the original.

Far Cry 5

Open world

An open-world shooter set in rural Montana where you liberate Hope County from a fanatical doomsday cult, using companions, vehicles and improvisation. Chaotic sandbox action meets an unsettling, dark story, playable in full co-op.

Watch Dogs: Legion

Open world

In a dystopian near-future London you can recruit almost any passerby into your hacker resistance and play as them, each with their own skills. Hacking, drones and stealth give you many ways to tackle missions.

Far Cry: Primal

Open world

A Stone Age spin-off of Far Cry where you roam the untamed Oros valley with spears, clubs and bows, taming sabertooth cats and wolves to fight at your side. Hunting, crafting and growing your tribe replace the series' usual guns and vehicles.

Far Cry 6

Open world

As a guerrilla fighter on the tropical island of Yara, you topple dictator Antón Castillo using makeshift weapons, vehicles and animal companions across a huge open sandbox. It blends explosive shooter mayhem with political drama and a dose of absurdity, playable solo or in co-op.

Far Cry 3

Open world

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.
