Headhunter vs Metrocide

Headhunter puts you in the shoes of Jack Wade, an ex‑cop turned bounty hunter in a near‑future city where private law enforcement battles gang crime. After escaping an operating table and waking from a coma, you must earn licenses, upgrade your gear, and hunt down the most wanted criminals while uncovering your own past. The game blends third‑person shooting, stealth, and motorcycle racing across a gritty urban landscape, all from an over‑the‑shoulder perspective.

Metrocide drops you into a cyber‑punk dystopia as legendary contract killer T.J. Trench. Navigate claustrophobic alleyways, avoid cop drones, and eliminate rival gangs with a mix of guns and plantable explosives. One slip and you’re dead—there are no respawns, forcing you to plan each move carefully in a relentless, single‑player arcade experience.
