Manhunt (2003)
Genres:Shooter, Tactical
Themes:Action, Horror, Thriller, Stealth
Game modes:Single player
Story:Manhunt is a third-person stealth horror game. The game consists of twenty levels, and four bonus levels that can be unlocked; the levels are referred to as "scenes". Players survive the Scenes by dispatching enemy gang members known as "Hunters", occasionally with firearms but primarily by stealthily executing them in gruesome, over-the-top ways.
The player is rated at the end of each level, primarily dependent on the gruesomeness of the killings and the speed of completion, from one (unimpressive) to five (extremely competent) stars. Executions are preferred in order to gain a higher score, thus encouraging players to play as viscerally as possible. The game's locales are full of "dark spots" and shadows where the player can hide while being chased by the Hunters; hiding in these dark areas makes the player invisible to opponents.Show more

There will never be a game like this again, and Rockstar used a fanmade crack on Steam and it still is broken without Manhunt fixer, it needs to be preserved legally here. I have the best memories playing this, and will never forget it.
I know what a controversial game to support. Manhunt was unlike anything I played before and after. You take on many gangs brutally finishing them off. We are talking let's take Mortal Kombat fatalities but make em more realistic. You get a surprisingly decent stealth game. Some weapons you won't expect during a first playthrough. You have to do several objectives. Always expect things to suddenly get intense in the levels. This game isn't for anyone with a weak stomach. Manhunt is a game that's more on the lines of Hatred. The brutal finishers are quite disturbing to watch. There's also a challenge mode to test your skills. I will confirm you'll die a lot in this game. It's virtually an Hitman game where you aren't an assassin. At the same time, you do take out a lot of horrible people on the way. In a weird sense, a monster takes out an bigger monster logic. The reality of the situation is you never feel safe. You constantly have to adapt on the fly to survive. Especially the later levels with high difficulty spikes. I can tell you Manhunt is a game that forever changed the world. Why let such a game go into extinction? I do think this game could sell well on GOG despite many being against it's release here.
Banning a video game like Manhunt would set a negative precedent for freedom of artistic expression in video games. Although its content is violent, it is part of the creative vision of its developers and offers a unique, albeit controversial, experience. Adults should have the freedom to decide what type of entertainment they consume. GOG is the only platform that can properly support and preserve it for future playability and its zero censorship, ensuring this piece of video game history remains accessible and playable for those who choose to experience it
This game needs to be added to GOG mainly because Rockstar used a pirated version of the game for the Steam version upon release and only way to fix it is through fan made patches.
This game is rightly violent and no one should ban it. This is fun and if people get ispiration from this, they have already problems, its not game fault. Bring this fantastic game back pls!

Mercenaries: Playground of DestructionDuring the last years of his reign, the North Korean president Choi Kim attempted a reconciliation with the country's southern neighbor, with the ultimate goal of reunification. However, his son, General Choi Song, and the military clique under his leadership, strongly disagreed with the old man's views. Eventually, Choi Song orchestrated his own father's assassination, took control of North Korea, and severed ties with the outside world.
Eventually, plans of a nuclear reactor construction began to surface. China, South Korea, the Allied Nations and even the Russian Mafia sent troops to North Korea, competing for power in the troubled region. A bounty of a hundred million dollars for General Song was declared. This is where the mercenaries enter the playfield.
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is a free-roaming war action and driving game with open-ended gameplay in a large world. The player can choose to control any of the three mercenary protagonists, each with their own strengths: North American Chris Jacobs can sustain higher damage; Jennifer Mui from Hong-Kong is proficient in stealth; Mattias Nilsson from Sweden can run faster than the others. Each of the mercenary also speaks different languages, which makes him or her more or less suitable for work with particular factions.
Players have free reign of a massive landscape to take bounties on the "Deck of 52", a list of most wanted criminals in North Korea, as well as a number of factions. Four factions have moved in to take advantage of the coup for personal gains; each faction will offer the player resources such as vehicles and supplies, as well as missions that the player can use to make money off of. If the player makes a faction happy, they will offer intel on the locations of various bounties from the deck.
Players have a vast array of resources available to them to get the job done. It is possible to commandeer tanks, choppers and and any other military hardware to blow up the game's destructible landscape across the North Korean countryside. Helping out various factions provides access to numerous vehicle drops, supply drops, and air strikes.Open world Action Stealth Sandbox
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Nerf Arena BlastNerf Arena Blast is a first person shooter that uses the Unreal Engine, featuring a sports arena in which players use guns either from or inspired by Hasbro's line of foam-projectile-launching Ner guns. Like other Unreal-based games, it is oriented around competitive arena-based play, via teamplay, old-style deathmatch, and other match types, and can be played either multiplayer or single-player with bots. Single-player play features tournament modes with progression and scores. It can be played in matches of up to 16 players via LAN or Internet.
The game was acclaimed for its excellent execution, capturing the enjoyment of the game on which it is based, but mildly criticized for the fact that those opposed to violence in video games would not be satisfied by "nerfing" the violence, so to speak, while it would also lose some appeal to those who are turned off by the lack of explicit violence and its more child-friendly approach.
As of 2024, there is still a community of players who continue to play the game.Action
