Doom

Shooting and gunplay

You blast through hordes of demons on Mars and in Hell in this faithful, modernized port of the 1993 original. Fast movement, a brutal arsenal and secret-filled maps reward aggressive, skillful play.

Doom II: Hell on Earth

Shooting and gunplay

The legendary shooter classic sends you and your Super Shotgun through maze-like levels packed with demons that have overrun Earth. Blistering, relentless combat, hidden secrets and nasty new foes like the Arch-vile keep it a genre benchmark to this day.

Aliens: Colonial Marines

Shooting and gunplay

A first-person shooter set in the Aliens universe where you fight xenomorphs and mercenaries as a Colonial Marine, solo or in co-op. Known for leaning on the franchise's atmosphere, but also for its technical and design shortcomings.

Doom

Shooting and gunplay

You are the lone survivor holding back Hell in this 1993 classic, blasting through demon hordes at breakneck speed. This re-release packs the full original campaign, including Episode IV, into modern hardware with mod support.

F.E.A.R. 3

Shooting and gunplay

A linear horror shooter where you fight as the slow-mo-wielding Point Man or the body-possessing ghost Paxton Fettel, best played in co-op with a friend. Combat is more action-heavy than its predecessors, with the scares somewhat toned down.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Shooting and gunplay

An intense first-person shooter that pairs slow-motion gunfights against smart AI soldiers with unsettling supernatural horror centered on the vengeful Alma. Mech sequences and movable cover add variety to its tightly paced, linear scares.

Quake II

Shooting and gunplay

A landmark sci-fi shooter: a lone marine fights through the industrial hellscape of Stroggos against a cybernetic alien army. It delivers fast gunplay, interconnected hub levels, a pounding metal soundtrack, and influential deathmatch multiplayer.

Serious Sam 4

Shooting and gunplay

A over-the-top first-person shooter where you mow down enormous alien hordes with an absurdly large arsenal as Sam Stone. Playable solo or in co-op, it favors speed, spectacle and humor over depth.

Farpoint

Shooting and gunplay

A linear PlayStation VR shooter in which you get stranded on a hostile alien planet after an accident near Jupiter. Played with the Aim Controller, fighting off giant insectoid creatures feels especially immediate.
