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.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Strong soundtrack

As Tommy Vercetti you rise from lackey to crime lord in a neon-soaked take on 1980s Miami, with sharp satire, a sprawling city to cause chaos in, and an iconic licensed radio soundtrack.

L.A. Noire

Lavish presentation

You play detective Cole Phelps in 1940s Los Angeles, cracking cases by interrogating witnesses and reading their facial expressions to spot lies. The detailed postwar city and gripping crime stories are what make it stand out.

The Godfather

Dark, serious atmosphere

An open-world action game set in 1940s-50s New York where you rise through the Corleone family ranks by extorting businesses and taking over rival territory. Its film-faithful atmosphere and characters are the main draw.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway

Emotional impact

A WWII squad shooter set during Operation Market Garden, where you suppress enemies with your team and flank them from cover. Its grim, serious presentation focuses on camaraderie and the cost of war.

The Saboteur

Shooting and gunplay

As an Irish racer turned saboteur, you fight through Nazi-occupied 1940s France with gunplay, stealth and demolition. Its signature touch is the art style: areas under Nazi control are black and white, and color returns as the resistance grows.

The Getaway

Strong, story-driven narrative

A gritty gangster action game set in a faithfully recreated London, mixing third-person gunfights and car chases in a cinematic story inspired by British crime films.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Strong, story-driven narrative

As immigrant Niko Bellic, you chase the American dream through the gritty, living metropolis of Liberty City, only to sink deeper into crime and revenge. It tells a darker, more grounded story than earlier entries while keeping the series' sharp satire.
