Spec Ops: The Line

A third-person military shooter set in a ruined Dubai, where a small squad led by Captain Walker goes looking for a missing unit. You fight through cover-based firefights while the story questions what the mission and the violence are really about. The campaign is short and leans dark. Is it your kind of game?
