  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Lavish presentation
  • Action-packed real-time combat

The Evil Within 2

Lots to discover

Survival horror in which Sebastian Castellanos dives into the surreal STEM world to rescue his daughter. Semi-open town hubs, scarce resources and the freedom to sneak or fight create constant tension.

Dead Space

Challenging difficulty

As engineer Isaac Clarke, you fight through the derelict mining ship USG Ishimura, strategically dismembering grotesque Necromorphs limb by limb. Its diegetic HUD-free interface, scarce ammo and oppressive sound design make it a landmark of sci-fi horror.

The Evil Within

Challenging difficulty

The Callisto Protocol

Challenging difficulty

A brutal sci-fi survival horror set in a prison on a moon of Jupiter, where you play convict Jacob Lee fighting mutated inmates with melee, dodging and scarce ammo. Its grim, cinematic presentation and graphic gore define the experience.

The Last of Us

Strong, story-driven narrative

Joel and Ellie cross a fungus-ravaged America in a tense survival adventure of scarce resources, brutal stealth-shooter encounters, and one of gaming's most affecting, character-driven stories.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Lots to discover

As Batman, you fight through Arkham Asylum after the Joker seizes it, mixing rhythmic freeflow brawling with predatory stealth from the shadows. The dark, interconnected asylum is packed with Riddler secrets and nightmarish Scarecrow sequences.

Alien: Rogue Incursion

Action-packed real-time combat

A single-player VR horror shooter set in the Alien universe that puts you right in the middle of tense xenomorph encounters. The blend of gunplay and dread makes the threat feel intensely immediate.

The Last of Us Part II

Strong, story-driven narrative

A brutal, emotionally harrowing revenge story in a ruined world that uses two perspectives to question the cycle of violence. Tense stealth-survival combat meets outstanding cinematic presentation and performances.

Cronos: The New Dawn

Challenging difficulty

Bloober Team's survival horror casts you as a Traveler moving through a retro-futuristic, ruined Poland, from the 1980s to the apocalypse. Scarce ammo, monsters that merge unless you burn their corpses, and a layered time-travel plot keep the tension high.
