A first-person shooter with three separate campaigns as Marine, Predator and Alien, each playing very differently, from tense horror to stalking hunts and ambush kills. It also offers asymmetric three-faction multiplayer.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

The Callisto Protocol

Dark, serious atmosphere

Aliens versus Predator 2

Action-packed real-time combat

Doom VFR

Dark Sector

Action-packed real-time combat

A grim third-person shooter where an infected operative fights through a decaying Eastern European city using the Glaive, a returning tri-blade weapon. It is the spiritual precursor to Warframe.

Quake 4

Action-packed real-time combat

A linear sci-fi shooter on the Doom 3 engine where marine Matthew Kane takes the fight to the Strogg homeworld, featuring the infamous stroggification twist. Squad missions, vehicle sections and fast arena multiplayer round it out.

Sci-fi setting

A grim first-person shooter set in an alien-ravaged 1950s America, where you fight to survive as Joseph Capelli. Upgradeable weapons, the weapon wheel and a co-op campaign define the experience.
