≠ Stands apart with ranged combat, historical setting and setting scifi, while skipping survival mechanics

A Quake III-engine shooter split between grounded WWII combat and occult nonsense, and it commits fully to both. The stealth missions and the weapon feel still hold up. Enemy variety thins out badly in the second half, the supernatural turn loses some players entirely, and the level design assumes patience for hunting hidden switches.

The gang is back, and they have bigger and better plans. Objective based cooperative FPS became more complicated. The classic group of Hoxton, Dallas, Chains and Wolf got reinforcement, and now Payday Gang consists of 21 heisters, some of which are based on movie characters or even Youtubers.

≠ Stands apart with ranged combat, offline and skill tree progression, while skipping horror tension

The peak of the cover-based Rainbow Six era: squad orders are quick to issue, the rappel-through-window breach is still satisfying, and Terrorist Hunt is the mode that kept it alive for years. The story is throwaway and reuses locations from the first game, and the tactical depth is far shallower than the pre-Vegas entries.
