Dead Space: Extraction

Sci-fi setting

An on-rails shooter in the Dead Space universe that shows the early Necromorph outbreak on the Aegis VII colony through several survivors. Aimed shooting, limb dismemberment and a grim atmosphere deliver cinematic, intense horror.

Dead Space

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Punishing: Gray Raven

Strong character progression

A fast-paced gacha action RPG set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, where you chain combos, dodge precisely and swap between squads of mech-suited fighters.

Parasite Eve II

Strong character progression

A PlayStation classic blending survival horror with real-time combat and RPG elements. As FBI agent Aya Brea you hunt mutated creatures in a grim atmosphere while upgrading your weapons and abilities.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

Sci-fi setting

A third-person squad shooter set in early-1960s America, where Agent Carter leads a small team against an alien invasion and issues orders through a slowed-time command wheel. Its Cold War spy atmosphere and retro styling give this XCOM spin-off its own identity.

The Callisto Protocol

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Sci-fi setting

A linear action-adventure loosely based on Journey to the West, following brawler Monkey and tech-savvy Trip through an overgrown, mech-ruled future America. Its strength lies in expressive performances and a touching, reluctant partnership rather than mechanical depth.
