Brings what grabs you about Remote Life: good gunplay, a sci-fi setting and a dark atmosphere.

A linear first-person shooter set in the dystopian Mega-City One, where you play Judge Dredd arresting or gunning down criminals while fending off an undead supernatural threat. The Lawgiver pistol and its multiple ammo types drive the action through grim levels.

Einhänder

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

Shooting and gunplay

A fast, brutal 90s-style boomer shooter where you play a Space Marine tearing through hordes of Chaos forces with a heavy arsenal. Crunchy pixel visuals, relentless action and a heavy metal soundtrack define it.

Prodeus

Shooting and gunplay

Prodeus is a fast, brutal retro-style first-person shooter in the vein of Doom and Quake, blending chunky low-res visuals with modern lighting and effects. Gory weapons, high speed and dark sci-fi levels drive the experience.

Sine Mora

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A gorgeous side-scrolling shmup from Grasshopper and Digital Reality where time is your health and a tool you can slow down. It features huge bosses, a soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, and a surprisingly dark, fragmented story about anthropomorphic animal pilots.

Hard Reset: Redux

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast, old-school first-person shooter set in a neon-lit cyberpunk city, where you mow down hordes of machines with upgradable weapons and explosive environments. Linear, uncompromising and focused on pure action.

Doom 3

Shooting and gunplay

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.

Doom 64

Shooting and gunplay

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.

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.

F.E.A.R.

Shooting and gunplay

A first-person shooter that pairs explosive slow-motion firefights against remarkably smart enemy AI with unsettling psychological horror built around the eerie girl Alma. Its destructible gunfights are still held up as a genre benchmark.
