Which games are on offer?
Let’s finally get to the real reason why we’re here: shooters, and the cheapest ones possible. We don’t know the complete portfolio of discounted games yet, but some offers have already started:
- Borderlands 3: The third part of the crazy loot shooter. Grab one of the countless weapons and have fun, because in this strange world hardly anything can be taken seriously. (9 Euro, reduced by 85 percent)
- Warhammer 40k: Darktide: A franchise that is very popular on GameStar.de. That’s why we can’t help but point out that the brutal co-op shooter Darktide has been reduced. Our test says: Atmosphere great, playful with blemishes. (24 Euro, reduced by 40 percent)
- Warhammer 40k: Boltgun: Let’s stay in the franchise, because Boltgun is definitely worth recommending – at least if you’re into retro shooter fare. Because here the gameplay is still straightforward and fast-paced, just like it was three decades ago. (14 Euro, reduced by 35 percent)

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun – Video for the new first-person shooter
- Necromunda: Hired Gun: Oh, you know what? You want Warhammer? You get Warhammer! As we all know, all good things come in threes, so shooter fans can’t go wrong if they pick this one up. After all, in Necromunda you explore the darkest corner of the Warhammer universe and that’s saying something! (10 Euro, reduced by 75 percent)
- SUPERHOT: Probably the only first-person shooter in which time only advances when you move. This not only creates a visual spectacle, but also requires a lot of brainpower from you, because of course you always have to keep an eye on the projectiles whirring in the air. (7 Euro
- EXFIL: A tactical first-person shooter based on the extraction principle. Your team competes against three other teams and must first obtain important information before, of course, getting out of the operational area in one piece. The game hasn’t been released yet, but there will be a free demo at FPS Fest for the first time. This trailer gives you a foretaste:

In the military shooter Exfil, tactics and teamwork are required on dynamic maps
- Neon White: Slice demons using cards. Sounds weird? Welcome to Neon White! This shooter is unconventional, but according to the extremely positive Steam user reviews, it’s apparently worth more than just a look. (14 Euro, reduced by 40 percent)
- Hell Let Loose: An atmospheric World War II shooter that we describe as a complete torture and yet rewards with a very high rating. How does that fit together? Tip 1: Read the two linked articles. Tip 2: Just take a closer look at the game on sale. (36 Euro, reduced by 35 percent
- System Shock: The remake of the cult shooter from the 90s exudes a similarly dense atmosphere as the original. In space you fight for life and death – against whom? Well, against probably the scariest AI of all time, of course! Tip: Play the demo before purchasing. (18 Euro, reduced by 55 percent)

System Shock: The launch trailer for the remake is a warning about AIs
- Bioshock: The Collection: Not one, not two, but three incredibly atmospheric first-person shooters whose game worlds and stories will leave you stunned in front of the screen more than once. Whether underwater or in the air, Bioshock always rocks! (12 Euro, reduced by 80 percent)
- Forgive Me Father: In this dark shooter you explore a world that has completely fallen into madness. The problem: You too can go crazy, so you always have to pay attention not only to your physical but also your mental condition. (10 Euro, reduced by 50 percent)
