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

Sci-fi setting

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.

Crusader: No Regret

Sci-fi setting

A 1996 isometric sci-fi shooter in which you play the Silencer, blasting through heavily guarded bases with big weapons and destructible environments while fighting a tyrannical corporation. Traps, tricky jumping sections and live-action cutscenes make it unforgiving yet gloriously explosive.

Crusader: No Remorse

Sci-fi setting

An isometric sci-fi action shooter where you play a defecting Silencer taking down a corrupt world government with heavy weapons, destructible environments, and tricky traps and puzzles.

Haydee

Sci-fi setting

You explore a sci-fi world in the style of old-school Metroidvanias, combining third-person shooting and demanding platforming. Its blend of modern action with classic backtracking and puzzles is what makes it stand out.

Far Cry

Shooting and gunplay

Crytek's technical landmark drops you on a sprawling tropical island where you can approach mercenary camps however you like, before mutant creatures turn the trip into a sci-fi nightmare.

System Shock

Challenging difficulty

This remake of the cult classic leaves you alone on the Citadel space station, ruled by the deranged AI SHODAN. You explore sprawling interconnected levels, fight to survive, solve puzzles and piece together the story through audio logs in a bleak cyberpunk atmosphere.

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.
