I wanna call it a "Survival Thriller". And it has some amazing voice acting from people who are very obviously European trying to do American accents. Despite the characters largely being Europeans. Chef's kiss

This game is the bastard love child of Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid, and it is absolutely excellent. You have almost certainly never heard of Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn, mostly because it's a Japanese game localized by Activision that received basically no marketing in its day, and has an awful title and cover art to boot. But if you ever wanted to see Resident Evil gameplay attempted with a different genre, absolutely check this one out.
