Alien Breed 3: Descent

Shooting and gunplay

A top-down sci-fi shooter where engineer Conrad fights through swarms of aliens aboard a doomed, crashing spaceship. Dark atmosphere, hard-hitting weapons and upgrades define the experience.

Alien Breed

Dread and tension

A classic top-down shooter where you fight through an alien-infested space station, juggling scarce ammo, health and mission objectives. Its tense sci-fi horror mood is clearly inspired by the Alien films.

Doom 3

Dread and tension

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.

Resident Evil: Revelations

Dark, serious atmosphere

A survival-horror shooter set aboard an eerie luxury liner, mixing claustrophobic exploration with scarce ammo and chapters that switch between characters. The HD version brings the handheld adventure to consoles and PC with improved visuals.

Dead Space 3

Dread and tension

Isaac Clarke battles Necromorphs on the frozen planet Tau Volantis, severing limbs strategically and building custom weapons at workbenches. More action-heavy than its predecessors, it adds drop-in co-op with John Carver.

Quake II

Fast pace

You blast through fast, unforgiving firefights against the mechanical Strogg in this classic sci-fi shooter. The modern re-release adds upgraded visuals, fresh campaign content and online co-op to the frantic action.

Alien Swarm

Dark, serious atmosphere

A free top-down co-op shooter from Valve where a squad of four marines with distinct classes fights through hordes of aliens. Teamwork, loadouts and unlockable weapons drive frantic, tactical firefights.

F.E.A.R.

Dark, serious atmosphere

A first-person shooter that pairs explosive slow-motion firefights against remarkably smart enemy AI with unsettling psychological horror built around the eerie girl Alma. Its destructible gunfights are still held up as a genre benchmark.
