  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Co-op or multiplayer

A fast, over-the-top reboot of a 90s shooter classic, packed with explosions, deadly traps and launch pads. It favors pure twitch action over tactics, with a tongue-in-cheek attitude.

Helldivers 2

Sci-fi setting

A chaotic co-op shooter steeped in satirical militarism, where up to four players call down orbital strikes and supplies via stratagem inputs and, thanks to always-on friendly fire, frequently blow each other up. A persistent galactic war has the whole community fighting over planets together.

Duke Nukem 3D

Lots of humour

A cult classic boomer shooter starring a wisecracking action hero blasting aliens through interactive, maze-like city levels packed with secrets. Its crude satirical humor, inventive weapons and destructible environments made it an icon of 90s FPS design.

Apex Legends

Co-op or multiplayer

A fast free-to-play battle royale hero shooter set in the Titanfall universe, where squads of three legends with unique abilities fight to be the last team standing. Slick movement, tight gunplay and squad synergy define it.

Helldivers

Sci-fi setting

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.

Half-Life 2: Deathmatch

Co-op or multiplayer

Fast-paced online deathmatch in the Half-Life 2 universe where the Gravity Gun and physics engine turn barrels, sawblades and toilets into lethal projectiles. Play free-for-all or Combine vs. Resistance team matches.

Overload

Sci-fi setting

Overload is a six-degrees-of-freedom shooter that revives the Descent formula: you fly weightlessly through tight mine complexes, blasting robots and hunting for keys and secrets. Precise controls and fast, frantic combat are the core appeal.

Unreal Tournament

Co-op or multiplayer

The legendary 1999 arena shooter built around lightning-fast deathmatches, inventive alt-fire weapons and varied modes like Capture the Flag and Assault. Whether against humans or sharp bots, reflexes, map knowledge and precise aim decide every match.

The Finals

Co-op or multiplayer

A free-to-play team shooter framed as a futuristic game show, where fully destructible arenas and physics-driven chaos make every round unpredictable. Creative use of builds and gadgets matters as much as aim.
