Medal of Honor: Underground

Historical setting

A linear WWII shooter on PlayStation where you play French Resistance fighter Manon Batiste across seven missions against the German occupiers. Historical weapons, vehicle and tank encounters, and occasional stealth sections add variety.

Shellshock: Nam '67

Historical setting

A gritty third-person shooter set in the Vietnam War of 1967, following a rookie soldier through jungle firefights, fear and atrocities. Its tone is bleak and unflinching in depicting the war.

Wolfenstein: The New Order

Historical setting

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.

Call of Juarez

Historical setting

A western shooter where you alternate between the fugitive Billy and Ray, the fanatical preacher hunting him. Stealth sections, gunslinger duels and a grim chase narrative define the experience.

Mafia

Strong, story-driven narrative

A cinematic gangster drama set in 1930s Lost Heaven, following cab driver Tommy Angelo's rise within the Salieri crime family. Authentic period cars, punishing shootouts and one of the finest stories of its era make it a classic.

Mafia II: Definitive Edition

Strong, story-driven narrative

A cinematic gangster drama set in 1940s and 50s America, following war veteran Vito Scaletta as he rises through the mob. The focus is on linear story missions with cover-based shootouts and driving rather than open-world busywork.

Mafia: Definitive Edition

Strong, story-driven narrative

A cinematic gangster drama set in Prohibition-era America, following cab driver Tommy as he rises through the Salieri crime family. Its strong story, atmospheric city and mix of gunfights and period car driving define the experience.

Iron Storm

Historical setting

You fight through an alternate history where the First World War never ended, stretching into the 1960s against a latter-day Genghis Khan. Its appeal lies in the gritty war atmosphere of trenches, bunkers and vehicles.

Mafia II

Historical setting

A cinematic gangster saga set in postwar America, following Vito Scaletta's rise through the mob with cover shooting, period car chases and rich 1940s–50s atmosphere. Empire Bay is less a playground than a lovingly detailed backdrop for a tight, linear crime story.
