Games for weak PCs with cool dismemberment. The most violent games

As you know, the reincarnation of Doom was released on Friday the 13th. A chainsaw, a rocket launcher, manual finishing moves - you won't be able to take demons alive. Id Software did not strive for a 12+ rating; the game has the atmosphere of a meat market. But Doom is far from the only bloody shooter. And not even the bloodiest! Who took the crown from the founders of the genre? Now we'll find out.

10. Blood

There is blood in the title of this game itself, which was released back in 1997. Despite the sprite monsters and primitive graphics, the violence in Blood was serious: crazy cultists and the monsters they summoned could be stabbed with pitchforks and set on fire with Molotov cocktails. The nostalgia for this game among connoisseurs is off the charts - let's hope that someone smart will take up the revival of the IP.

9. Shadow Warrior (2013)

By the way, about the successful revival of classic games: Shadow Warrior - perfect example. The main character - an exotic Asian version of Duke Nukem - makes greasy jokes, shoots demons with 2 Uzis, and finishes off the survivors with a katana. The enemies of our ninja came from other worlds, but their blood is red and their meat is meaty. The presence of cutting bladed weapons aggravates the effect.

8. Bulletstorm

Everyone knows that Cliff Bleszinski created Gears of War, many know about his work on Lawbreakers, but another of his creations is almost forgotten - which is a pity! In Bulletstorm, you could lift the unfortunate enemy with the help of an anti-gravity superpower, and then the choice is yours - give a tasty kick and send him to the spikes, or shoot from a drill gun and screw the victim into the ceiling.

7. Darkness 2

It would be better if the mafiosi did not offend the main character of this game. As a result of the diabolical pact, he receives tentacles and goes on a vendetta. Then something tougher than traditional hentai begins. Firearms play a secondary role, and tentacles are needed not for pleasure, but to divide the adversaries into components: arms, legs, heads, torsos, etc.

6. Dead Space

Strictly speaking, this is not a shooter at all, but shooting plays an important role in this dark space adventure - as does dismemberment. Isaac Clarke is an engineer in the best traditions of Gordon Freeman, but not an athlete. And necromorphs are too fast. God himself ordered to deprive them of a pair of limbs using a laser cutter in order to reduce the speed of movement to the level of homo sapiens.

5. Fallout 4

You can, of course, found a settlement, plant turnips, build cozy houses and, in general, peaceful life. But sooner or later, super-mutants hungry for human flesh, or raiders jealous of agricultural success, will appear. Then the “Bloody Mess” perk, pumped to the maximum, may come in handy. It will give you a real chance to tear even a large mutant to pieces with just one bullet from a blow rifle. Beauty, and that's all!

4. Gears of War 4

Cliff Bleszinski's main creation could not fail to be included in this rating. Judging by the previous parts of Gears of War, Bulletstorm and the work of Lawbreakers, Mr. Bleszinski considers violence and gore to be almost the cornerstone of shooter design. One of the iconic weapons of the series is an assault rifle with an under-barrel chainsaw (Warhammer 40,000?). With all the consequences arising from the abdominal cavities of enemies.

3. Killing Floor 2

Some gourmets called the first part of this franchise the best team PVE shooter, eclipsing even Left4Dead 2. Killing Floor 2 is on Steam in early access, but is already quite popular: it is planned to be released on consoles. In addition, the game will be the first to use Nvidia Flex technology - all for the sake of more realistic meat. True, only PC boyars will be able to visit the improved meat aisles.

Shotguns and chainsaws - all this was already in the previous parts. But hard manual finishing began to shine as the new guiding star of DOOM’s reincarnation. Large individuals of demons weigh several centners - the effects when exterminating them are appropriate. Considering that there can be about 2-3 such adversaries on the screen at the same time, and even a dozen small imps in addition, the action often turns into a bloodbath. Once again, many thanks to the authors for not chasing a 12+ rating and additional profit.

1. Sniper Elite 4

And here is the unexpected leader of the rating. Unlike Dr. Hayden and Olivia Pierce modern science has not yet proven the existence of the Underworld, so demons still belong to the realm of fantasy. To shove the fiend of hell's own heart down his throat - interesting entertainment, but Sniper Elite is really scary with its anatomical details. Well-aimed bullets knock out brains, break bones and pierce lungs, and even in slow motion. Compared to this pathologist course, the colorful demonic porridge will seem like kindergarten.

Top most bloody games (18+)

Computer games are often accused of cruelty and harm to the fragile psyche, although watching some TV programs can cause much more damage. We have selected ten projects in which the amount of blood is off the charts. Please note that all games on the list have an “adult” rating and are not intended for children.

Painkiller

Once upon a time, about twenty years ago, there was a special subgenre of shooters - “meat”. There was no time for political correctness in these games: only huge guns, brutal main characters and hordes of monsters. Painkiller is one of these projects.

The main character, Daniel Garner, dies along with his wife in a car accident. It further turns out that the protégé ended up in Purgatory. The only way to get to Paradise with your wife is to kill Lucifer’s assistants, and then himself. Unlike the parodies Duke Nukem and Serious Sam, the game Painkiller is presented in all seriousness. Compositions by Polish metallers Mech are heard from the speakers, thunderclouds hang in the sky, often it's raining, many locations are destroyed, the palette is gray and brown - the atmosphere here is heavy.

Opponents are divided into classic “meat”, which runs in dozens towards the hero from all sides, and bosses. The latter, as expected, hardly fit into the monitor and require special approach and can ruin everyone's nerves. The result of a small shootout - the floor, walls and ceiling were stained with blood, and after major battle Almost the entire location is painted in red tones.

The excellent arsenal deserves special attention: there are only five guns, but each has an alternative mode. Colomet still evokes especially warm feelings. You want to nail your enemies to the walls again and again.

Clive Barker's Jericho

British writer Clive Barker is the George Romero of the literary world. The living dead, an abundance of blood and dismembered bodies, evil spirits and otherworldly forces - Barker's books are mainly devoted to such unpleasant things. He had a hand in two games: Clive Barker's Undying and Clive Barker's Jericho. The second is bloodier and more modern, so we’ll consider it.

The action takes place in ancient city El-Khali, where supporters of dark forces call the First Born - a creature that God created before Adam and Eve. The Almighty did not particularly like the result, and he locked the first-born in prison. But there were people ready to free him and let him into our world. To protect people, the Jericho detachment was created, which must stop the monster if necessary. And such a need just appeared.

Seven heroes have unique skills: one heals wounded soldiers, another goes into the astral plane, the third uses a fire shield, and so on. You can play for each character. Clive Barker's Jericho is not only bloody, but also disgusting in some moments: torn bodies, various pictograms, occult symbols, dead people with open wounds - the surroundings are not pleasant.

Dead Space

The main character of the space horror movie was not just another two-meter-tall soldier, but a completely ordinary engineer. The plot is in the spirit of the thriller “Through the Horizon”: Isaac Clarke, along with a team of scientists, goes to the huge ship “Ishimura”, which sent a distress signal, but no longer makes contact. Upon arrival, the heroes discover blood-stained walls and bodies scattered throughout the compartments, as well as creatures that vaguely resemble humans. Isaac needs to understand what happened on the space liner and find his girlfriend - she was on the crew of the Ishimura.

Despite its promising horror premise, Dead Space is an action game, not a horror game. The engineer quickly masters the weapon and begins to eliminate the necromorphs. The mechanics involve dismembering opponents. Shooting off the enemy's legs will slow him down; by shooting in the blade hand, you will be deprived of the weapon. And one type of enemy has well-developed regeneration - a new limb grows in about twenty seconds.

The series consists of three parts, the gameplay in them is almost the same. But the locations change: in the sequels, Clark will be brought into futuristic cities and space complexes. Dead Space doesn't offer anything fundamentally new to the genre, but high quality The performances and good atmosphere made the game quite popular.

Soldier of Fortune

The shooter suffered a lot from critics, psychologists, moralists and everyone else who tried to promote themselves on the basis of “save children from cruel games.” Soldier of Fortune depicts violence realistically. Severed arms and legs, fountains of blood from stumps, heads covered in ketchup, groans of the wounded - the censors were horrified by what they saw.

The series takes place in different countries, missions are usually dedicated to fighting terrorism. That is, we are not killing mothers of many children or the heroes of the country, but real thugs. By gameplay This is an ordinary first-person shooter, and not a particularly interesting one: the artificial intelligence is weak, the levels are entirely linear, the gameplay is monotonous.

The only reason Soldier of Fortune is remembered at all is because of its excessive brutality and dismemberment. Sale restrictions (ban in Germany, censored version in Australia), as usual, had the opposite effect: many people wanted to see for themselves how bloody the game was.

Hotline: Miami

The game was created by independent developers. Hotline: Miami refers to the projects of the 80s: top view, large pixels, stylization of classic action games. The plot is chaotic. The hero receives orders to kill all people in certain buildings and undertakes to carry them out. Who needs this and why is not particularly clear at first.

Hotline: Miami's levels are designed like labyrinths. There are armed enemies in each room, and you need to eliminate them without them hitting you. Animal masks come to the rescue, giving bonuses: doors can kill opponents, finishing moves happen faster, the hero moves more actively. Each ability affects tactics, which comes first here. The locations are buried in corpses and pools of blood, and the old-fashioned look adds surrealism to what is happening.

Although you can't tell by its appearance, Hotline: Miami requires careful preparation and planning - the difficulty is usually high, the hero is killed with one hit. However, this also works against opponents. The game turns into a puzzle where you need to calculate every step.

There is also an action game called Hatred, which also asks you to kill every living thing on the level. If in Hotline: Miami the hero has a formal goal, then in the mentioned arcade there is no reason for murder. It's just that the character is a real maniac who hated humanity.

Crimsonland

Two years ago a remake of an excellent arcade game was released, and now there are problems with launching the game in high resolution and not on new versions of Windows. In Crimsonland you play the role of a fighter who is attacked by various monsters from all sides. Having started the passage of the level with a flimsy pistol, the hero will gradually get at his disposal machine guns, shotguns, machine guns, plasma guns, rocket launchers and even a flamethrower.

The map turns crimson, there are more and more monster carcasses, and new enemies keep coming. At first the game is easy, but soon you realize that for the sake of the next record you have to hold on with all your might. This is where perks come to the rescue, similar to masks in Hotline: Miami. Bonuses make it easier to complete. Fast reloading, a chance to dodge an attack, a bandage to restore health, and more are available.

The game is bright and spectacular: explosions illuminate half the map, the trajectory of bullets is beautifully illuminated, each fired projectile scatters with a spectacular flash. Crimsonland captivates with its excellent balance and variety. And although the idea here is banal to “kill everyone,” the abundance of perks and weapons allows you to try all new ways to complete levels.

Postal

Another game that suffered from the censors. The main character of Postal is a postman. He does routine things and faces troubles that are familiar to everyone: long lines in stores, being stuck at work, an eternal lack of money and other unpleasant things. The character can either humbly endure what is happening, or show his essence by snatching a rifle and causing a massacre.

Postal is good for its flexibility of passage: here it is possible to reach the final credits with virtually no violence. Another thing is that it is very boring and long, and besides, the game in every possible way encourages a bloody version of events. For example, passers-by may attack you for no particular reason.

The series is a satire on daily life and shows what can happen when a person is fed up with everything (on the same topic, watch the wonderful film “ Wild stories"). Postal is full of violence, blood and murder, but, unlike other games on the list, the developers give you a choice of how to act in different situations- peacefully or with weapons.

Gears of War

This is one of the first shooters with positional firefights (but Kill Switch is considered the first). Previously, in games you had to run forward and shoot, but Gears of War made battles more realistic: you need to sit behind walls, quickly run from one cover to another, and wait for the right moment to attack.

On the planet Sera, people are waging a protracted war with the Locust. A squad of fighters must bring the end of the conflict closer. There are four people on the team, all of them are real big men with biceps larger than the waists of beauty pageant participants.

Gears of War is a brutal action game with furious shootouts and streams of blood. Particularly impressive is the chainsaw mounted in assault rifle. The effect exceeds any expectations: the heroes cut enemies lengthwise, blood splashes like a fountain, the characters themselves are covered in liquid from head to toe.

Soldier of Fortune

One of the first shooters in our memory in which you could shoot off enemy limbs with impunity. A terrible sight for the fragile minds of young executors. Let me remember what the plot was...

44. Condemned 2: Bloodshot; 43. Prototype 2; 42. Prototype; 41. NeverDead;

Lollipop Chainsaw

What could it be better game about a cheerleader with a chainsaw cutting up zombies left and right? Nothing, really. Here, look for yourself!

39. Bulletstorm; 38. Wolfenstein The New Order; 37. Return to Castle Wolfenstein; 36. Left 4 Dead 2;

Fallout 3

Any old-school gamer knows that classic fallouts always had plenty of cruelty, and in the second part, with the help of a bozer, you could literally turn the enemy’s body into a real chop. But in terms of the general bloodthirstiness of the series, something was always missing, and the developers of the third part corrected everything. As a result, here you can, for example, shoot off a mutant’s head with a shotgun, and then watch in slow motion as it beautifully flies into the distance.

34. Fallout 2; 33. FEAR 2; 32. Ninja Gaiden 2; 31. Ninja Gaiden;

Die by the Sword

Modern gamers know about this game only from the stories of elders. Your super-powerful computer most likely won't even want to deal with such backward graphics. But at least for the sake of decency, know that at one time this fencing simulator produced the effect of an exploding passion fruit, showing gamers new system shredding enemies. Unlike most slasher films of that time, it was possible to independently control the movements of the character and the sword. However, crowds of dissatisfied gamers showed that no one needs such innovations.

29. The Darkness II; 28. Mortal Kombat(1992); 27: Team Fortress 2; 26. Hotline Miami;

Shadow Warrior

This is a remake of the classic shooter from 1997. As the assassin Lo Wang, you will continuously clear levels of enemies without even thinking about the purpose of your actions. Traditionally, the game is cracking with firearms, but once you pick up your trusty katana, an ordinary shooter turns into a bloody samurai waltz with a bunch of shredded enemies.

24. Gears of War 3; 23. Gears of War 2; 22. Gears of War; 21. No More Heroes;

Dying Light

The best game about zombies and parkour and, by the way, the only one. But that's not the point. Having properly upgraded your chopping abilities and assembled some kind of electric machete with a fire effect, you will be able to chop zombies into salad. We have never seen anything like this before. You can do chopping alone here without stopping for several hours in a row! Oh, we forgot about the plot again.

19. Dead Island; 18. Dead Rising 3; 17. Dead Rising 2; 16. Punisher;

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

The main advantage of this slasher is the ability to cut anything at any angle. People, robots, cars, watermelons - it doesn’t matter, the main thing is that the sword never falls into its sheath. Spare parts and limbs fly apart faster than the chopped Olivier ingredients. As a result, the amputation of enemies here is so captivating that you remember the plot only after the final cut... That is, the cut... Ugh, boss.

14. Ryse: Son of Rome; 13. Manhunt 2; 12. Manhunt; 11. Postal 2;

Mortal Kombat X

The unrivaled leader in gaming violence. You were convinced of this as a child, when you were delighted (or fainted) at the sight of bloody pixels during sparring on Dandy. In the new part, everything is much more nightmarish and bloody - the heroes easily tear out each other’s spines and dismember everyone and everything into small bloody pieces.

We are pleased to welcome all Place2Play readers to the next issue of our hit parade. Today we present to your attention a rating of the most cruel computer games in history. Therefore, we advise you to take women, the elderly, and pregnant children away from the screen. The bacchanalia begins.

As a disclaimer, we note that this top was compiled, among other things, using the world-famous American rating system Entertainment Software Rating Board, and the list included games with exceptional displays of cruelty. These are markers "M" (Mature - from 17 years old; projects with this rating may contain quite brutal violence, large amounts of blood with dismemberment, obscene sexual scenes or gross profanity, undesirable for younger audiences) and "AO" (Adults Only - only for adults; products in this category may contain prolonged scenes of intense violence and/or very explicit sexual content, as well as scenes of nudity). Well, that's it, now you are armed and warned. Let's get started.

Top 10: Celebrity Deathmatch

Our list opens with a 2003 claymation parody game called Celebrity Deathmatch, based on the MTV show of the same name and released on all popular platforms. The player has access to 27 real actors, singers and characters from films, such as Justin Timberlake, Carmen Electra, The Mummy and others. Cruelty manifests itself from the first seconds of the confrontation. So, chainsaws and other improvised means are easily used, allowing you to “chop off” something important to your opponent. Although Marilyn Manson, for example, even after losing his limbs, can continue to fight using what is left of them. He also has a voodoo doll at his disposal, with which he can inflict tons of pain on his opponents. But this is only a small part of the “fun” that is available in two modes: against the computer and against each other. You can see for yourself by watching the video.

Top 9: Grand Theft Auto ( San Andreas)

In ninth place, as one might expect, is the beloved GTA. This so-called simulator real life back in the early 2000s, I struck the imagination of gamers around the world with the variety of gaming situations and combat arsenal, in which one could find everything that a bloodthirsty soul desired: from hand-to-hand combat to chainsaws and grenade launchers. However, the game earned its “adults only” rating not so much for its cruelty as for the subsequently cut out explicit scene of a sexual nature, which anyone could unlock with a special script. In general, in the same line we can also write down the recently “reviewed” Saint Row: The Third, which is one of the parody clones of the great series.

Top 8: Left 4 Dead 2

The next item on our brutal list is the hordes of infected zombies from the second part of the famous Left 4 Dead from VALVe, released two years ago on PC and Xbox. Proof that this game is in the top for a reason is at least the fact that its release was banned in a number of countries (including Australia) due to excessive cruelty in the form of abundant and too realistic “dismemberment”, possible due to the presence of various types melee weapons: axe, samurai sword, chainsaws and other “equipment” that allows the smallest details examine the insides of enemies.

Genre: cooperative shooter with survival horror elements

Top 7: Dead Space 2

On the seventh line is a worthy successor to the “Dead Space” series, in which a desperate engineer named Isaac Clarke seeks salvation from a horde of alien creatures of all kinds and stripes under common name"necromorphs". The presence of this game on the list is due to locations abundantly splattered with blood, as well as close-ups scenes in which piercing and cutting objects are used, piercing the characters’ faces (although the main character’s arsenal is much wider: from flamethrowers to plasma guns). This whole thing is accompanied by chilling screams of pain and horror, as well as an exorbitant amount of blood per gallon. square meter. The game was released on PC, PlayStation and Xbox this year.

Genre: third-person shooter with survival horror elements

Top 6: MadWorld

Quite an unusual game. And here's why. Firstly, the entire action takes place in black and white and only blood and scraps have a pronounced red color, which especially well emphasizes the cruelty of what is happening. Well, secondly, as for the cruelty itself, here you have the impaling of lamp posts and road signs on the fittings, and the classic cutting in half with a chainsaw, as well as tipping enemies onto a wall with sharp spikes, decapitation with golf clubs, throwing the enemy’s carcass into a turbine engine and much, much more. Add to this the seasoning of mocking comments, as in the case of Celebrity Deathmatch, (after all, the game is made like a real-time show) and you get MadWorld. Another feature of this game is that it was released only for Wii consoles in single-player and multiplayer modes.

Top 5: Fallout 3

And this, consider it a classic. Fifth position and familiar to many from childhood is Fallout, the crowning feature of the third part of which was the springboard-spring flying off of enemy limbs (especially heads) as a result of the slightest contact with bullets or other weapons of the protagonist. But the most “delicious” thing is different: the player is given the opportunity to independently choose almost any part of the enemy carcass that he would like to “chop off”, even in slow-motion mode. And although for many the plot of the near future with various types biological threats fade into the background here; it is worth noting that it contains quests, the task of which is to kill family members and animals with a knife, for example. Well, as you can see, we are gradually getting closer to games in which cruelty is manifested in relation not to some mythical aliens and cartoon zombies, but to ordinary people, like you and me. What, isn't it scary yet?

Top 4: Mortal Kombat (2011)

But before we get to the top three, let me introduce you to that very “Mortal Kombat”, which became famous for its cruelty, primarily thanks to the legendary “finishing off” of the opponent, also known as Fatality. IN new version game, dated April of this year, the attention of the bloodthirsty gamer is offered a whole range of characters, different in their severity and cruelty, combat techniques and, of course, final murders. But it’s hardly worth describing them in words; it’s better to see them once. But only once!

Top 3: Postal 2

As one showman famous for his mustache says, the first three players are in the studio! Indeed, we have finally reached the three most brutal games of all time, and let's start, perhaps, with Postala, released back in 2003, which still holds the leading position in terms of the level and concentration of cruelty. An interesting detail: almost any task in the game can be completed in a relatively peaceful way, but no - everyone around is trying to force our Dude to resort to using a shovel, napalm and heavy artillery, which he happily does, not forgetting to put the cat in as a silencer for a machine gun or shotgun.

Top 2: The Punisher

In honorable second place today is the anti-hero of the Marvel universe named Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher. He received this nickname for a reason: numerous series of murders, and most importantly, torture of criminals, including natural torture, deservedly give this lover of splashing the contents of the human body to the incessant screams of the victim second place in our top.

Genre: Single-player third-person shooter

Top 1: Manhunt 2

The developers of the Manhunt game series are solemnly sentenced to first place for their particular cruelty towards the characters of their products. A few facts so that you understand the seriousness of the circumstances aggravating their “guilt”: murders in the game are usually committed from an ambush (from behind the victim’s back) and are classified as “executions”. They are also divided into three levels: fast, brutal and terrible. It's all seasoned general atmosphere psychiatric hospital with a corresponding plot. We won’t say anything about the translation of the game’s name itself.

Genre: stealth-action, survival horror

Well, that’s it, you can wipe the monitor from the blood that has filled it, that’s it for today’s episode hot tens has come to an end. Let us remind you that this top is compiled based on reviews and ESRB ratings. sandr1x was with you. Until we meet again, my bloodthirsty and merciless ones.

I think many gamers like it when games are full of blood, cruelty, murder, guts that stick to the screen when they explode and slowly slide down. And, naturally, they are interested in the question of what the bloodiest games are. Well, ordinary gamers may be interested in this question in order to successfully bypass them. We offer you a list of the 25 bloodiest games.

Previously, to create blood, developers created sprites, rendered frame by frame, so that the player would eventually see 2 seconds of blood flying into the monitor. Now technology has made significant strides forward and rivers of blood appear on the screen with much less effort. And the realism has also increased significantly.

We will deliberately not mention very old games here, but there will be a couple of surprises. I think the most normal thing would be to list five games a day. And this will not bore the reader, nor will I.

25th place. NeverDead

NeverDead- one of latest games, which was born in the crazy heads of the guys from Rebellion. They also gave the world the Aliens vs Predator and Shinta Nojiri series of games. The whole game is built on the fact that main character does not die, but simply falls apart and can even come back together later. It certainly looks funny. You can see everything for yourself in the video.

24th place. Dead Island

You probably remember the simply magnificent, amazing, stunning trailer for Dead Island, where the story was told terrible story family who came to relax on a paradise island. However, it turned out that this video has little in common with the game. Basically the whole game is about killing zombies. Yes, the list of the bloodiest games simply could not do without zombies. This is obvious. You can see what’s bloody in Dead Island in the video just above.

23rd place. Fallout 3

The animation of Fallout 3, of course, cannot be called excellent, but, nevertheless, this does not stop it from being cruel. The video just above shows how the heads of opponents are shattered into smithereens and the limbs of opponents are torn off.

22nd place. Team Fortress 2

I think a lot of people played it, especially after it became free. And perhaps, behind the mind-blowing action of this game, you did not notice how cruel it is. The video below shows one of the moments when the characters are simply torn to pieces and blood splatters all the walls nearby. And if you remember that the battles can take place quite massively, then you can see a lot of blood on the screen.

21st place. Prey

Remember this game? You probably remember that at one time she made quite a lot of noise. If for some reason you think that she is not cruel, then watch this video of people being tortured by alien machines. Add to this the gloomy and depressing atmosphere, the abundance of blood in the game, and if you play it at night, you can easily stop wanting to go to bed for a couple of hours.

20th place. Postal 2

Yes, we haven’t forgotten about it, and it’s on our list of the most brutal and bloody games. Do you also remember what perversions and nasty things you can do there? This is perhaps the only game where you can pour gasoline on a person, set him on fire, and then pee on him to put him out. I'm not even talking about cats instead of mufflers. I believe that she can justifiably take 20th place.

Perhaps, on this ringing note today we will stop the world of bone crunching, gurgling blood and flying brains. Tomorrow we will talk about five even bloodier and crueler games.
