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!
Why Manhunt (2003) Needs to Be on GOG — A Masterpiece of Psychological Horror and Stealth
Manhunt isn’t just one of the darkest games ever made — it’s one of the boldest. Released by Rockstar Games in 2003, Manhunt pushed the boundaries of what video games could be in terms of atmosphere, brutality, and raw psychological intensity. It’s not for everyone, but for those who can stomach it, it stands as a masterpiece of stealth horror that deserves a DRM-free, preserved release on GOG.
Why Manhunt Is a Masterpiece
Gritty, Unrelenting Tone: Manhunt drops you into a city overrun with gangs and death squads — all orchestrated by a twisted snuff film director. From start to finish, it never lets you breathe. This game is pure tension.
Revolutionary Stealth Mechanics: At the time, few games made stealth feel this raw and consequential. You weren’t just sneaking — you were surviving. The gruesome executions weren’t just for show; they were the culmination of nerve-wracking hunts.
Sound Design & Atmosphere: The ambient noise, eerie music, and whispered voices made you feel hunted even when you were the predator. Manhunt makes sound part of the horror.
Psychological Horror Done Right: The narrative isn’t just violent — it’s twisted, exploring themes of voyeurism, control, dehumanization, and what it means to kill when you have no other choice.
No Game Has Matched Its Vibe Since: Nothing else feels quite like Manhunt. Its grimy VHS aesthetic, its commentary on media violence, and its sheer nihilism make it one-of-a-kind.
Why It Needs to Be on GOG
Preservation of Controversial Art: Manhunt was banned in multiple countries, and it's becoming harder to access. GOG is one of the few platforms that champions game preservation — even for titles that stir controversy.
I first watched videos of it on youtube and want to play it myself because it is a really good game on my perspective

Armored Core: Project PhantasmaA Raven operating out of Isaac City receives an unusual request. Not only is the request both vague and cryptic, stating simply: "Infiltrate the underground urban complex, Amber Crown,", but it also bypasses normal channels of communication and is sent directly to the Raven in question, without anyone else seeing the message. No sender name or corporate affiliation is mentioned, but the monetary reward promised is massive. Because of the amount, the mission will obviously be intensely dangerous, but Ravens aren't the type to shy away from any challenge. With interest piqued, the Raven climbs into the AC and heads toward Amber Crown.Action
