War Thunder is a free-to-play vehicle-combat MMO that lets players pick from thousands of different planes, ground vehicles, and warships from dozens of different countries. Here Kitty, Kitty: It's best not to approach cats from behind… especially if they happen to have an 88mm cannon. Pitch brother against brother as either the Union or Confederacy.
Draw battle-lines, call in reinforcements, and attempt to out-maneuver opponents across dozens of historical battles, including Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and more! Battle of Shiloh: Although not shown in-game, the streams and fields were drenched in Confederate and Union blood from almost 24, casualties across both sides. Focusing less on tactical battles, Hearts of Iron IV instead puts an emphasis on managing your economy, industry, population, and political cabinet to achieve control during one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history.
Switch your civilian factories to wartime production, raise and equip divisions and make shrewd political maneuvers, lest your nation crumbles at the hands of the Axis… or Allies. Logistics is Life: Let your soldiers do the dying — Poland won't get invaded any faster if you're too distracted by the bloodshed to properly set up supply lines.
More a combat-simulator than a video game, Arma 3 rides the fine line between intense, fun, firefights, and the punishing realism of war often glossed over in other games. An incredibly complex FPS -sandbox, Arma 3 gives players one of the most authentic experiences due to it's full-suite of mission-editing tools to create any scenario players desire.
Arma 3 also boasts one of the most dedicated communities who labor out of love to build hundreds of hours worth of custom game modes, assets, and missions. Relatively one of the more simple scenarios, a handful of players takes up defensive positions after an IED takes out the lead vehicle.
The best part is that this scenario is entirely "homegrown" — altogether player designed and operated, though it could opened up to include hundreds of units should the editor wish.
Instead of running around at full sprint, guns blazing, players follow their squad leaders, deploy smoke, move cautiously, and make coordinated attacks on enemy objectives.
Unlike other shooters, one man does not make an army, and deaths are severely punished. You're not a hero, you're a soldier — a single cog in a vast, bloody, hopefully, well-oiled machine.
A Lone Tank is a Dead Tank: Just as in real-war, pushing up with armor and no infantry support is a surefire way to catch a Panzerfaust up the tailpipe. It offers fast-paced, close-quarter engagements with small teams while also using realistic damage models, weapon handling, and punishing respawns. Modeled after our modern conflicts, Sandstorm is full of tense arguably stressful and highly-kinetic firefights where split-second decisions are the difference between your enemy's brains on the wall or yours.
Set during the backdrop of World War II, players take control of Axis or Allied powers to explore the map, exploit resources, expand their territory, and exterminate the enemy. Five Rounds. Firing for Effect: While blobbing may have worked for the Red Army IRL, the tired doctrine stands no chance against concentrated artillery in the hands of a half-decent commander. Stick together, communicate, and move as a unit lest you be blown to bits by a more cohesive enemy.
A hardcore, tactical FPS set across huge maps that span kilometers. It offers the high-stress combat found in games like Insurgency or Post-Scriptum without the overwhelming complexity of games like Arma 3. Work together with your team to utilize devasting modern weaponry to its fullest potential,.
I mean, why even bring a. If you don't have anyone to shoot it? While there are obviously more than fifteen good military-themed games, we wanted to simplify things to give you guys a better feel for what's out there.
There are also many bad games out there too, wasting people's time. These gems deserve to stand out from the rest, and hopefully, you've found something worth investing into.

God of War is a PC game. That still felt weird to say as I wrapped up my second playthrough over the holidays. Not far above it on my Steam library sits another game that is "of War" for a different master— Gears 5.
Just a few years ago, these two tentpole series existing on the same device was impossible. Now they share a virtual shelf. Sony's latest angry dad game is evidence that the PC is the ultimate videogame unifier, and a great reminder of how the platform can bring out the best in games. This is a damn good port, at least on my higher-end PC.
If you skipped God of War or haven't touched the series at all, this is the God of War to play. All you need to know going in is that Kratos was Athena's best murder man until he was betrayed and decided to kill all of the gods including his daddy, Zeus.
This soft reboot picks up years later. In that time, Kratos left a now-godless Greece and wandered into the Norse lands, where he gained a wife who has just passed away at the start of the game , a son named Atreus, and a glorious beard. God of War is its restraint. It's a small story in a world of gigantic characters.
They're not looking for a fight, but end up walking into a bunch of them because, apparently, Midgard has been a nightmare land of evil trolls, poison witches, and zombies for the last century or so.
Much of the game is basically carving a path through this broken world, unraveling the petty god drama that led to its ruin. There's a lot of The Last of Us and Uncharted in its puzzly moments—hoisting young Atreus up a ledge to kick down a rope and jostling dilapidated supports to make a bridge are pages straight out of the Naughty Dog playbook—but these familiar puzzles get to have a lot of fun with Kratos' superhuman strength.
My strongest memories all revolve around one of the greatest weapons in videogames: the Leviathan Axe. It's both cool and funny how often Atreus ponders how they're going to cross a gap just as Kratos lifts a beam the size of six cars or spins an entire building like it's a windup toy. Where Nathan Drake looks for a chain to lift an ancient pulley, Kratos simply throws his axe at the gears so hard that they spin.
For a character that used to mostly show his toughness by killing every living thing in the room, it's nice to see Kratos throw his weight around the world itself. Lifting big rocks wouldn't be near as fun without the back and forth banter with Atreus or as he's often called, "boy". It's not exactly a new narrative trick to pair a strong silent type with an inquisitive youngster, but unlike the developing relationship of Joel and Ellie, Atreus and Kratos already have a layered rapport that's steadily peeled back over time.
It's obvious from the jump that the two aren't close. Atreus is determined to prove he's ready to make the journey and pressured to live up to Kratos' high standards "Do not be sorry. Be better," Kratos tells him after taking a careless shot at a deer.
Kratos, meanwhile, is an emotionally distant father who projects his own issues on other people. Their relationship evolves organically as they take on the world together, but Sony Santa Monica was smart to let side characters do some heavy lifting as well.
One character introduced halfway through is easily the best part of the game, a wise old grandpa figure brimming with useful advice and stories to fill the dead air while the trio boat around Midgard. For as good as God of War's characters and stories are, my strongest memories all revolve around one of the greatest weapons in videogames: the Leviathan Axe.
