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.

Quake 4

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Quake

Dread and tension

id Software's landmark shooter sends you through grim, gothic Lovecraftian mazes full of monsters, with lightning-fast movement, frantic gunplay and a brooding industrial soundscape by Trent Reznor. Its multiplayer also made history.

Wolfenstein

Historical setting

B.J. Blazkowicz battles Nazis harnessing occult power from a parallel dimension called the Veil in the occupied town of Isenstadt. Upgradable weapons and Veil abilities add a supernatural twist to classic run-and-gun shooting.

Doom II: Hell on Earth

Dread and tension

The legendary shooter classic sends you and your Super Shotgun through maze-like levels packed with demons that have overrun Earth. Blistering, relentless combat, hidden secrets and nasty new foes like the Arch-vile keep it a genre benchmark to this day.

NecroVisioN

Historical setting

A brutal old-school shooter that starts in the trenches of World War I and descends into an occult hellscape of vampires, demons and zombies. Its appeal lies in mixing period firearms, melee and dark magic with a combo system, in the spirit of Painkiller but with noticeable budget roughness.

Aliens vs. Predator

Dread and tension

A first-person shooter with three separate campaigns as Marine, Predator and Alien, each playing very differently, from tense horror to stalking hunts and ambush kills. It also offers asymmetric three-faction multiplayer.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

Historical setting

A landmark WWII shooter whose cinematic Omaha Beach landing defined the genre. It leads from North Africa through Normandy into Germany, mixing stealth missions with intense, scripted firefights.

Zombie Army Trilogy

Dread and tension

A third-person shooter set in an alternate end of World War II, where you fight hordes of Nazi zombies solo or in co-op using sniper rifles and traps. The X-ray kill cam and co-op action are the main draws.
