Black Mesa

Interconnected level design

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: Source

Interconnected level design

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.

Half-Life 2

Lavish presentation

A landmark first-person shooter that sends Gordon Freeman through alien-occupied City 17, blending seamless cutscene-free storytelling with physics-driven puzzles and the iconic Gravity Gun.

Selaco

Interconnected level design

A fast-paced sci-fi first-person shooter built on GZDoom, with destructible environments, smart enemy AI and intense firefights inside a research facility. It blends classic shooter speed with modern presentation and a story.

Doom 3

Lavish presentation

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.

Quake 4

Action-packed real-time combat

A linear sci-fi shooter on the Doom 3 engine where marine Matthew Kane takes the fight to the Strogg homeworld, featuring the infamous stroggification twist. Squad missions, vehicle sections and fast arena multiplayer round it out.

Star Wars: Dark Forces

Interconnected level design

An early Star Wars first-person shooter where you play mercenary Kyle Katarn aiding the Rebels, starting with stealing the Death Star plans. Its maze-like levels, key hunts and vertical design set it apart as a Doom contemporary with its own identity.

Dead Space

Lavish presentation

As engineer Isaac Clarke, you fight through the derelict mining ship USG Ishimura, strategically dismembering grotesque Necromorphs limb by limb. Its diegetic HUD-free interface, scarce ammo and oppressive sound design make it a landmark of sci-fi horror.
