Metal: Hellsinger

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Atomic Heart

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A first-person shooter set in a retro-futuristic Soviet utopia where the robots have turned on their makers. It mixes punchy melee and gunplay, glove-powered abilities, puzzle-filled test facilities and bizarre humor with a striking art direction.

BioShock Infinite

Dark, serious atmosphere

A first-person shooter set in the floating city of Columbia, mixing fast combat with Vigors and skyline rails with a mind-bending tale of alternate realities. Companion Elizabeth and the stunning finale make it a standout narrative experience.

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.

Dead Space 2

Dark, serious atmosphere

Isaac Clarke carves through a Necromorph-infested space station with strategic dismemberment while battling his own haunting hallucinations. It is a faster, more cinematic sequel that keeps the original's oppressive sci-fi horror intact.

Ruiner

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A brutal top-down shooter set in a neon-soaked cyberpunk dystopia, blending fast dodging, melee and abilities into frantic fights. Its striking visual style and driving electronic soundtrack define the experience.

Amid Evil

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast retro-style boomer shooter that swaps guns for inventive magical weapons like staves and blades across surreal fantasy realms. Colorful, dreamlike levels reward hunting for secrets.

Wolfenstein: The New Order

Dark, serious atmosphere

A punchy first-person shooter set in an alternate 1960s where the Nazis won the war, mixing dual-wielding firefights with optional stealth. Its surprisingly emotional, grim story gives B.J. Blazkowicz real depth.

Control

Lots to discover

As Jesse Faden you explore the shifting headquarters of a secret paranormal agency, fighting an otherworldly invasion with telekinesis and a shape-shifting service weapon. Spectacular destructible combat meets a surreal, bureaucratic New Weird mystery.
