Max Payne

Shooting and gunplay

A grim neo-noir shooter that popularized bullet time: as a vengeful cop you dive in slow motion through a snowbound New York, with the story told through graphic-novel panels and hardboiled narration.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate

Linear, curated structure

A linear third-person cover shooter that continues the Wanted film story, built around curving bullets and stylish gunplay as Wesley Gibson uncovers his family's past.

Maximum Action

Linear, curated structure

You get a brutal, physics-driven first-person shooter inspired by Hong Kong action cinema and old-school arcade shooters. The fights center on punchy gunplay, and the physics make every impact feel raw and satisfying.

Pistol Whip

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A VR rhythm shooter where you fire, duck and dodge in time with the music while gliding through stylized, cinematic levels. It plays like a choreographed dance of bullets and movement, driven by chasing high scores.

Suit for Hire

Shooting and gunplay

A tough action shooter where you blend firearms and martial arts into stylish, fluid choreographed violence. You'll need sharp reflexes and tactical thinking to survive.

Vanquish

Shooting and gunplay

Platinum Games' blisteringly fast third-person shooter where rocket-boosted slides and slow-motion aiming turn cover shooting into a high-speed ballet against robot armies. Short, intense and packed with spectacle.

Bright Memory

Shooting and gunplay

A very short, fast-paced spectacle that blends first-person shooting with sword combat and special abilities. As agent Shelia you chain gunfire, slashes and skills into flashy combos across effect-heavy fights.

Wet

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Wet is an over-the-top action shooter where fixer Rubi blends sword combat with acrobatic dual-pistol gunplay in slow motion. Its grindhouse look with film grain and heavy gore gives it a distinct retro exploitation style.

Max Payne 3

Shooting and gunplay

A brutal, cinematic third-person shooter where a broken Max Payne stumbles through São Paulo's violent underworld using bullet time and shootdodges. Its bleak noir storytelling and seamless cutscene-to-gameplay transitions set it apart.
