A Call of Duty clone paired with hero shooter elements that somehow works and is fun?

The game features excellent movement and gunplay mechanics, combined with classes and abilities, creating a perfect blend for fans of both genres. It is very easy to pick up and play, with straightforward three-lane maps designed around objective-based gameplay (such as capturing the flag or pushing the payload). The combat is satisfying, with each class (currently five in total) having two unique abilities, and guns that you can customize in your loadout.

For me, the best part is that the abilities serve as an additional way to engage in fights, while gunplay remains the main focus. Unlike games like VALORANT, which, in my opinion, failed to balance this and ended up with overpowering hero abilities, this game keeps the emphasis on shooting skills.

The main downside will be game balance and the fact that it is managed by UBISOFT. Maybe this will become garbage in the upcoming months/years because of introducting P2W elements, badly managing the game etc. However, for now, the game is perfectly fine to play and serves as an interesting competitor to modern-day shooters.

As a fan of fast-paced shooters, this game was exactly what I needed, especially after skipping last year's lackluster Call of Duty release.

Do not be discouraged by the average rating—the game was atrocious in the beginning, but now it's perfectly fine. The game is given away through every launcher and subscription-based service. I'm surprised it isn't free-to-play by now.

Fallout 4 and the MMORPG genre had a baby, and it was called Fallout 76. "It just works"—Fallout's core gameplay combined with multiplayer offers a lot of fun. There are many different locations scattered around a huge map, additional events and quests that you can participate in with friends or other players on the server, an in-game economy managed by everyone, friendly and helpful community, new content still being made to this day, and much more.

As I mentioned earlier, the game is basically free now, so why not pick it up yourself and give it a shot?
