FPS Games Harder Than DOOM Eternal

Operation Flashpoint: Red River was released in 2011 by Codemasters, and is still one of the most realistic Tactical Shooters on the market today. The game didn't perform particularly well with critics, exemplified by its PC Metascore of 67 , though it did offer a uniquely intense co-op experie

For many years, games like Gears of War, Halo , and Call of Duty carried the torch when it comes to shooters. While all of the mentioned games (and countless others) have stuck to the traditional formula for over a decade, the success of the battle royale genre has caused nearly every shooter to shift how they develop their online experience. For example, Call of Duty 's multiplayer has stayed very similar since 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare . Since the release of Fortnite, however, Activision has made multiple attempts at creating a Call of Duty battle royale. While Call of Duty still offers its conventional multiplayer, it is clear that Warzone has become a primary fo

Unless she receives an incredible huge nerf, Bangalore will likely always be in the top ten Legends when looking at the tier list every season . She's meant to be the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none, and has a kit of abilities that make sense to anyone familiar with first-person shooters. She's meant to have abilities that are easy to understand and master and is the legend most new players gravitate to. Her smoke grenades will always be useful in a game predicated on movement and distracti

These weapons are straightforward to handle as they also pack decent stability. Another thing that goes in their favor is the firing rate and ammo type. These guns also offer compatibility with many attachments, adding to the diversity of their us

Then you have Bloodhound, the non-binary espionage expert. It’s a cool way to put a non-binary character in a AAA game, I feel, because whatever perceived "gendered" physical characteristics they might have are obscured by a gas mask and bulky clothing. Their appearance is calculated very deliberately to be genderless and ambiguous, which is a great artistic choice. Oh, and let’s talk for a second about Gibralter. Here's this goofy and sweet beefcake who's gay and doesn’t have some sort of sad backstory about it. He’s not cuckolded and sad like Soldier 76, whose story echoes literally every Hollywood movie ever written about gay men that’s not called Moonlight, or if he is, we don’t know about it. That’s rad as h

Operation Flashpoint: Red River 's difficulty comes from enemies being able to kill players with just one bullet; this may seem extreme even for hardcore mode, but believe it or not, this is the case with normal difficulty too. Hardcore mode still manages to find a way to ramp up the challenge even further, by removing the player's

When PUBG was released, however, fans quickly realized that communication was the key to winning matches. While some of the battle royales on the market allow players to come back from the dead, survival is extremely important. Each decision made throughout a battle royale match matters and one bad move by a teammate could ruin an entire ma

Apex, on the other hand, doesn't really have the same problem. Look at the female characters alone – Wraith, Bangalore, and Lifeline. Only one of them is wearing a body suit, and considering her character (stealthy interdimensional assassin-y lady,) it fits. The other two women wear clothing that makes sense for both their respective roles on the battlefield and their lore, with Bangalore’s fatigues making sense considering her military upbringing and Lifeline’s breathable top and cargo pants fitting with her role as a combat medic, as well as being more casual than something somebody from her wealthy upbringing might wear. On top of their outfits, each woman looks different. Different body types and heights and faces help to give them differentiating factors beyond outfit colors and hairstyles. While I’d like more diversity in terms of female body types and eventually other ethnicities, it’s a pretty bang-up st

While this was the case before, Fortnite has shown that the battle royale genre is the perfect style of game to lengthen a game's life. Through Season 12 Apex passes, map changes, and in-game events, Fornite is still the most popular game in the world, three years after lau

Unlike Warzone , PUBG doesn't have any complex "mini-games" for players. Instead, aside from the core survival mechanic, players also have to avoid the shrinking Blue Circle and the deadly Red Circle. Staying outside the Blue Circle drains player health, but outrunning this should be easy if players are just on the edge. However, if the Blue Circle begins actively shrinking, players may need vehicles to surv

Apex Legends is the culmination of a lot of hard work for Respawn. The studio's work on Titanfall 2 was impressive but ultimately forgotten, in no small part because of the previous game's poor reception. It's a shame, since people who gave this game a shot loved the emotional single-player campaign and its amazing gamep
