Capcom's sci-fi action game on a lunar station blends third-person shooting with real-time hacking, as android companion Diana cracks enemy defenses while Hugh fires. Their bond drives the story.

Returnal

As a stranded astronaut caught in a time loop, you fight across a constantly shifting alien planet. Frantic bullet-hell shooting and a dark, enigmatic story make every run intense and punishing.

Black Mesa

Action-packed real-time combat

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.
