Their magnum opus, the Doom series is the perfect example of this, tight first-person shooting with a large assortment of weapons and highly detailed and intricately designed arenas to kill hordes of demons in, Doom games have it all.
They essentially redefined what a first-person shooter should play and feel like with 2016's Doom and have proven their skill in the genre with Doom Eternal.
Doom Eternal truly revolutionized the FPS genre by improving everything that made the 2016 reboot of the franchise great while adding a number of new mechanics to keep the experience fresh for players.
Doom Eternal sees the Doom Slayer take it against the demons who have overrun Earth, wiping out more than half of the total population and have decimated human civilization, leaving only ruins in their wake.

2) Deathloop - 60% off
Arkane Studios, the genius creators of the Dishonored series and Prey, are the undisputed masters of creating truly unique and immersive experiences. Their games fall under the immersive simulation game genre.
Games of the immersive sim genre have player freedom at the forefront in terms of both gameplay and narrative.
Deathloop is the latest iteration of Arkane's immersive sim titles, with features borrowed from their previous projects, a new setting, and a unique narrative to back it all up.
Deathloop sees players take control of Colt Vahn, stuck in a time loop on a remote island called Black Reef, with no memory of the past and a woman named Julia hunting him.
Players are tasked with breaking the loop while figuring out Colt's and the island's past and the reason for the temporal anomaly. Players must eliminate eight targets called the Visionaries in a single day to break the loop. Failing to do so will reset the day, forcing players to start again from scratch.
The game has a heavier emphasis on action and gunplay this time, instead of stealth, with a wide variety of weapons at Colt's disposal. Players are also given a set of supernatural powers, akin to Dishonored games, to further aid them in breaking the time loop.
