Modern Combat 5: Blackout
Gameloft offers a handful of combat oriented games in the Windows Store and Modern Combat 5: Blackout is one of two such titles that made our list. Modern Combat 5 is a first-person shooter that includes a single-player campaign and a multiplayer mode where you can create a squad to take on rivals online.
Key features of Modern Combat 5: Blackout includes:
- Seven customizable classes of players that include Assault, Heavy, Recon, Sniper, Support, Bounty Hunter and Sapper.

The Windows 10 game has three control layouts that can be customized from sensitivity to various auto controls (auto-crouch and auto-shoot).
