Trepang2

Challenging difficulty

A brutal, fast-paced first-person shooter where slow-motion dives, optional stealth and hard-hitting guns carry you through bloody firefights against smart enemy AI. It focuses on fluid, action-movie gunplay in a near-future setting with a horror streak.

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War

Strong, story-driven narrative

An arcade air-combat game with a cinematic war story, where you fly as a pilot of the Wardog squadron across 32 missions. Memorable for its chatty squadmates over the radio and its stirring soundtrack.

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

Lavish presentation

An accessible arcade dogfighting game with huge enemy waves and cinematic missions set in a fictional war. You fly modern jets and pick loadouts for air and ground targets.

Ninja Gaiden 3

Challenging difficulty

A fast, brutal hack-and-slash in which Ryu Hayabusa carves through enemy hordes with his sword and ninja arts. Compared with its predecessors it is more accessible and cinematic, while still delivering bloody combat and an online mode.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Lavish presentation

Arcade aerial combat with stunning skies and detailed cityscapes, where you fly dogfights and ground strikes as a pilot in a fictional war. The cinematic campaign and powerful soundtrack make each mission feel like an event.

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War

Strong, story-driven narrative

An arcade-style aerial combat shooter where you fly dogfights as mercenary pilot "Cipher" in the fictional Belkan War. Its standout is the framing story of a reporter interviewing downed enemy aces years later, plus a dynamic rivalry with enemy squadron leaders.

Sine Mora

Challenging difficulty

A gorgeous side-scrolling shmup from Grasshopper and Digital Reality where time is your health and a tool you can slow down. It features huge bosses, a soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, and a surprisingly dark, fragmented story about anthropomorphic animal pilots.

Alien Soldier

Challenging difficulty

A frantic Treasure run-and-gun with a gauntlet of boss fights, fast gunplay and a flexible weapon loadout. It is extremely demanding, rewarding pattern memorization and precise reflexes.

Einhänder

Challenging difficulty

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.
