Brings what grabs you about Prey: a sci-fi setting, good gunplay and action-packed real-time combat.

The landmark shooter sends physicist Gordon Freeman through the alien- and soldier-infested Black Mesa facility, telling its story seamlessly without cutscenes while mixing tense firefights with environmental and physics puzzles.

Black Mesa

Sci-fi setting

A loving fan-made remake of the original Half-Life: as Gordon Freeman you fight through the disaster at the Black Mesa research facility, with rebuilt levels, new voice acting and music. Classic first-person shooter action with alien fights, physics puzzles and the extended Xen finale.

Half-Life 2

Lavish presentation

A landmark first-person shooter that sends Gordon Freeman through alien-occupied City 17, blending seamless cutscene-free storytelling with physics-driven puzzles and the iconic Gravity Gun.

Half-Life: Source

Sci-fi setting

The Source engine version of the shooter classic: as scientist Gordon Freeman you fight through aliens and soldiers after an experiment goes wrong at Black Mesa. Updated lighting, water and physics refresh the look, but it remains the tightly scripted, linear original.

Quake 4

Sci-fi setting

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.

Hard Reset

Sci-fi setting

An old-school, fast-paced first-person shooter from Flying Wild Hog where you blast hordes of machines through the gloomy cyberpunk city of Bezoar using two modular, upgradeable weapons. Environmental destruction, chain explosions and relentless arena fights take center stage.

Doom 3

Lavish presentation

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.

Selaco

Sci-fi setting

A fast-paced sci-fi first-person shooter built on GZDoom, with destructible environments, smart enemy AI and intense firefights inside a research facility. It blends classic shooter speed with modern presentation and a story.

Dead Space

Lavish presentation

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.

Farpoint

Sci-fi setting

A linear PlayStation VR shooter in which you get stranded on a hostile alien planet after an accident near Jupiter. Played with the Aim Controller, fighting off giant insectoid creatures feels especially immediate.
