The Godfather

Historical setting

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.

Red Dead Redemption

Historical setting

As reformed outlaw John Marston, you ride across a vast, evocative frontier at the twilight of the Wild West to hunt down your old gang. Tense gunfights, hunting and side activities frame a melancholic story with an unforgettable ending.

The Saboteur

Historical setting

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.

Sleeping Dogs

Strong, story-driven narrative

As undercover cop Wei Shen, you infiltrate the Triads in a neon-lit Hong Kong, brawling through kung-fu-movie style melee with counters and brutal environmental takedowns, plus car chases. Its tale of torn loyalties between police and gang is the real hook.

Star Wars Outlaws

Lavish presentation

As scoundrel Kay Vess and her critter companion Nix, you roam an open Star Wars galaxy, playing crime syndicates against each other while mixing stealth, blaster fights, speeder rides and space dogfights. Its appeal is the authentic smuggler-adventure fantasy across several richly detailed planets.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

Strong soundtrack

A 1984-set prequel to Vice City following soldier Vic Vance as he slides into crime and builds his own criminal empire. The neon-soaked city comes with a strong 80s soundtrack.
