So, you feel like playing Battlefield because of the destructible terrain. No, wait. You feel like a bit of Overwatch because of the gameshow-style gameplay. Actually, you feel like something a little different, something with parkour and abilities, yes, Apex!
What about playing all three at the same time? Excited? Well, I certainly am! Nexon and Embark are bringing us The Finals!
If you didn’t know, Embark Studios consists of former DICE CEO Patrick Soderlund and a few other employees from DICE that jumped ship after the not-so-great launch of Battlefield 5. Having all this power behind The Finals makes me amped for the destructive environments.
“Fight alongside your teammates in virtual arenas that you can alter, exploit, and even destroy. Build your own playstyle in this first-person shooter to win escalating tournaments and lasting fame.”
This Free-To-Play FPS Arena Shooter looks what we all hoped Battlefield 2042 would be. An absolute destruction fest! Make your way through escalating tournaments as you defeat your opponents using any means necessary. Not just the bullets in your gun or the sword on your back; every piece of the environment around you seems usable to aid your fight. Just remember, you’re not the only one out there manipulating the field. Flair seems to be the aim of the game here, so let your imagination run wild as you double jump backflip over a wrecking ball that’s hurtling at 50,000km/h at the building your enemies are trying to escape from while your team-mates steal the “ball” from under them.
Ah, lasting fame, every gamer’s dream!
Hop on to Steam and register now for the closed beta happening on the 7th of March, or at the very least, add it to your wish list so you and I can go head to head when it releases.
Can you reach The Finals?
