The biggest robbery of the 2019 Game Awards? A Plague Tale: Innocence not winning anything. Sure, the game wasn't perfect, but in terms of an original single-player narrative, the game was unmatched in its story and emotional impact. Disturbing enough to make me never want to to play it again, but fun enough to make me consider it, A Plague Tale: Innocence will never get the credit it deserves. Maybe its sequel will finally bring more players aboard, tho
Caustic only shines when the circle is small enough to force enemy teams into condensed areas with little to no room around the traps. His position on this list is due to his lack of speed and limited utility in the current
We don’t think Crypto’s version of fancy is in line with the spirit of the Grand Soirée, but it’s certainly an interesting look. He looks less like he’s attending an exquisite old-fashioned party and more like he’s about to order bottle service at the club. But hey, points for eff
Mirage likes to mess with his opponents; sending out decoys and using cloaks to hide are part and parcel of his strategy. While his decoys are not perfect, they are great for figuring out where ranged enemies are hiding. Mirage also has an excellent sense of humor and a magnetic personality, which ENTPs can relate
Battlefield titles combine fast-paced infantry combat with a wide array of vehicles for players to use, leading to interesting engagements that few games can compare to. How can you add to that form
Hardly ever does a lifeline drop her healing drone and while her shield during revives is great in a pinch, it is also a beacon for enemies that are looking to clean up and move. Her greatest asset is the speed she gets when using heals or reviving, so long as she is using it to keep the team going rather than rushing into the fray with a peacekee
Infantry combat was fast and visceral, while vehicular gameplay required teamwork to truly succeed. A well-coordinated squad could sway an entire match in their favor. Nothing can match flying through a crumbling building in a helicopter to pick up squad members while rockets glance by. This is one of the best games DICE has ever m
Unless you’re sporting some gold, healing can easily get you killed. And even if you eliminate an entire squad, you are always vulnerable to a Third Party. They will be looking to take advantage of your weakened health after hearing all the gunfire. True, many have learned that looting an eliminated enemy will offer up a full Body Shield. However, this can also be crucial in the middle of a firefight. If you’re out of Shield Cells or Batteries, you can finish off a knocked opponent for their armor. More likely, it can also genuinely be worth it to swap for lesser armor sitting nearby, just to survive in a pinch. Particularly if your teammates are down, leaving you without cover or t
Star Wars might be going through a rough patch with the new trilogy of movies, but the video games released under this IP have been dynamite the last few years. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is, for lack of a better phrase, Uncharted in Star Wars . That sells it short of its engaging combat and excellent character building , but the core gameplay loop of exploration followed by epic fights bears a striking resemblance between the two ga
A large focus on teamwork and coordination makes Apex Legends weapons Legends a great game for new players or experienced players of this genre alike. Even the worst of players can use the phenomenal ping system to help out the rest of their squad. Plus, this game is completely f
Planet Zoo is one of the most advanced simulation games I've ever played. While it isn't perfect, it's pretty close and is paving the way for the sim genre. There is a depth we’ve never seen in both graphics and gameplay, which allows players to feel truly connected to the world they are building. Planet Zoo will take you into your environment in a brand new way, all while raising awareness of important issues through an engaging and enjoyable g
Technically now the "third" version of what is perhaps the perfect game, the Resident Evil 2 remake updates a classic and shows developers that narrative-driven content can succeed without the need for multiplayer and microtransacti
With void walking capabilities and Dimensional Rift at her disposal, it is not hard to see why Wraith ranks in at number two on a map that requires mobility. Gaining the high ground and escaping a disadvantageous fight is the name of the game on World’s Edge. Phasing out of danger or into a flanking position is where Wraith excels at the individual le
Regardless, the third person nature of Garden Warfare perfectly encapsulates the silly and straight fun nature of the tower defense game it is based on. This game has great balance, tons of content, and is fitting for any gamer young or old. New or experienced gamers alike will get something out of this chaotic shoo
