Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

Open world

A fast-paced Spider-Man action game set in an open New York overrun by a symbiote invasion. You swap between red and black suit styles, swing through the streets, and make choices that shape allies and the story's outcome.

Infamous: Second Son

Open world

As Delsin Rowe you tear through an occupied Seattle with swappable superpowers like smoke, neon and video. A karma system lets you choose between becoming a hero or a villain.

Bionic Commando

Sci-fi setting

As the bionically enhanced Nathan Spencer you swing with a grapple arm through ruined cityscapes and fight through a conspiracy in third-person action. The traversal is the core hook, while the story is secondary.

Ghost Song

Melee combat with weapons or fists

An atmospheric 2D Metroidvania set on the lonely moon Lorian V, where you awaken as a Deadsuit, explore eerie caverns, gain new abilities and uncover cosmic secrets. Fluid combat and a moody sci-fi setting define the adventure.

The Final Station

Dark, serious atmosphere

An atmospheric 2D side-scroller where you ride a train through a collapsing world, scavenge stations for supplies, fight off the infected, and keep your passengers alive. The shift between tense, ammo-scarce station raids and quiet train upkeep creates a bleak, oppressive mood.

Haak

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Haak is a pixel-art Metroidvania platformer set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where you unlock new abilities to explore hidden corners of the world, fight enemies and uncover its secrets.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

I Am Alive

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim survival adventure set in a dust-shrouded ruined city where limited stamina, scarce resources and risky climbing define the experience. Instead of constant gunplay it relies on bluffing with an empty weapon and tension while searching for the hero's family.
