A casino simulator that occasionally lets you play basketball. The PC port is still treated like trash (last-gen version), and the microtransactions are predatory. The definition of a scam.

A competent Warzone clone that nobody asked for. The gunplay is crisp, but locking the best map (Fort Lyndon) and naval combat behind a F2P battle royale while the $70 base game starves for content is

They actually listened. Classes are back, destruction is insane, and the maps feel like classic BF3. The new 'RedSec' BR mode is whatever, but the core multiplayer is gold. Just ignore the $20 skins.

Eurojank in the best way possible. The Zone is terrifying, the atmosphere is suffocating, and the gunplay is brutal. Yes, it has bugs, but they add character. A masterpiece.

The switch to Unity was scary, but it paid off. The match engine is finally fluid and the lighting is gorgeous. UI is still a spreadsheet nightmare, but it’s the best FM in a decade.

$70 for a glorified map pack. The movement is decent, but the SBMM is exhausting and the "new" zombies mode is just Warzone with bots. Stop buying this every year.

It functions, which is a surprise. But the writing is "safe" and lacks the original's bite. Combat is generic melee spam. It’s not the disaster we feared, but it’s painfully average.

Gore is top-tier, guns feel heavy. But the monetization? Offensive. Battle passes and $20 weapon skins in a PvE wave shooter is a joke. Fun gameplay ruined by corporate greed.

Tarkov for people with jobs. The machines are terrifying, the UE5 world is stunning, and the $40 price tag keeps the cheaters out. Finally, an extraction shooter that respects your time.

A shock to the system for turn-based RPGs. The visuals are next-gen, but the "reactive turn-based" combat steals the show. Incredible music, voice acting, and style. A sleeper hit.
