Resident Evil 4 was a seminal action fps game Weapons for many fans at the time, thankfully receiving a well-crafted remake in 2023. This fourth mainline installment in the Resident Evil franchise is arguably responsible for bringing it back from the dead, reinvigorating the series with a heavy dose of action gameplay and bold set-pie

Stalker: Call of Pripyat is technically the third game in the series, following Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Skies , but generally Call of Pripyat has aged the best. Even without mods, the visuals still hold up well, and players can even journey deep inside the nuclear reactor its

Players will have to keep their wits about them as they creep through the dimly-lit corridors and darkened rooms of the fictional SWAN Institute. The game makes use of the creepy environment while bringing a distinctly medical focus to the sett

While some games opt for a realistic approach and adhere to historical accuracy, others have sought to add their own spin on the disaster and its ensuing fallout. Reports of mutated insects and animals in real life have also led to the creation of innumerable fictional creatures and entities that may dwell within the exclusion zone. The abandoned city of Pripyat in modern day Ukraine serves as a haunting monument which regularly features as a setting in video ga

Extensively focusing on the three divers, Valeri Bespalov, Alexei Ananenko and Boris Baranov, all three of whom lived into old age and were awarded the Hero of Ukraine honor, Liquidators pays a fitting tribute to their efforts. Purchases of the game currently go towards aiding displaced children in Ukraine with the help of Uni

The Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 was a pivotal moment which ultimately accelerated the collapse of the USSR, making it one of the most historically significant events in recent history. Due to the nature of the incident, a large exclusion zone was established to prevent radioactive contamination, leading to many speculations and conspiracy theories as to what may be happening there. It makes for an ideal video game setting in which treacherous conditions and a high number of life-ending threats combine to create an eerie and seemingly inhospitable environm

Once Fang approaches, board the helicopter with Dr. Jansen and head back to Operation Deadbolt headquarters . As the helicopter flies away, the story cutscene will begin, and players will complete the Extraction mission. Be sure to watch the entire cutscene (unfortunately, there is no way for players to skip the cutscene), if players back out while the cutscene is playing it will count as leaving the game and players will not get successful exfil credit , and will lose all weapons, items, and gear. Allow the cutscene to play, and once complete players will be taken to the mission report screen and lock in all the rewards earned from completing the Extraction miss

In the hallway on the south end of the building there is a staircase that will get players to the first roof level - be cautious of the spawning horde and the holed-up mercenaries in the fire station. Take the rooftop staircase to the second roof level and interact with the computer attached to the comms tower to search the area for Dr. Jansen. Be aware of the glass sunlight windows on the roof, as mercenaries on the floors below will quickly target players if in line of sight. After the search on the communications array is completed, players will receive an indicator of Dr. Jansen's general locat

This glassless reflex optic offers a projected dot and state of the art stabilization technology that reduces visual recoil while firing.

The undead in particular deal serious melee damage, and walking across certain spots will cause them to teleport in. Worse still are the zombies armed with shotguns, as they fire them rapidly with no need to reload. While they can have their guns knocked out of their hands by being shot, shooting their heads is the only way to kill them. All of this made the 'Mansion' level almost unbearable. For countless players, the amount of cheap jump-scares and sudden ambushes made this level both frightening and frustrating. Playing it on Hard mode is a considerable feat, due to countless zombies abruptly teleporting in with shotguns in-h

This third entry in the now-bloated first-person franchise does feature an open world, though it still features a solid story and a few entirely linear sections. One of these sections is an on-rails sequence towards the end of the g

The mercenaries in MWZ can be a serious challenge. Players will want to ensure they are geared up with high quality weapons, vests, and plenty of plates and revives before attempting this contract , especially in higher threat areas. If players can hack all three computers and disable all three extractors, the Aether Extractors contract will be completed, with the Reward Rift spawning by the final extractor disabled. In higher threat tiers, players will often encounter even more difficult mercenary troops, including Riot Shield mercenari
