Apex's latest season introduces a summer holiday theme and a sunny new map, and its latest hero is a Titanfall 2 throwback. It's still a regular in our game nights. Y'know, the massive sandbox battle royale, a game that's hosted concerts, Star Wars characters, Marvel superheroes, and so much more. Constant updates keep the world fresh, while Fortnite's combination of building and shooting gives it the competitive depth to stay engaging.
It's still the battle royale that all others have to compete against. It's not the most beautiful action-RPG in the world, but it is engaging and rewarding in the long run.

Most heroes come for free out of the box, and the rest can be unlocked for free if you play enough.

The creators of League of Legends finally did it. After uh…over a decade, Riot finally put out another game. And you know what? It was worth the wait, because Valorant is pretty phenomenal. Wearing its Counter-Strike and Overwatch inspirations on its sleeve, Valorant is nevertheless one of the tensest and tightest shooters released this past decade, combining twitchy firefights with a fairly standard litany of hero abilities.
It works, and it works well. The only aspect that gives me pause? Is it a security risk? In the ensuing years, Fortnite has become the largest game in the world, boasting hundreds of millions registered accounts and a peak of over 15 million concurrent players. It hosted virtual concerts and special events attended by millions.
It even earned enough to allow Epic to open its own Steam competitor, and dole out plenty of money for exclusive games on top. Epic continues to update the game at a prodigious rate, changing the map, the guns, the skins, the emotes, the core mechanics, basically everything on a regular basis. You could call it an ultra-complex, open-ended, randomly-generated colony management game. But really Dwarf Fortress is an endless generator of absolutely wild tales, just like Crusader Kings.
Players pick a hero and battle it out against the other team, competing to bring down the enemy base by out-maneuvering foes with skillful tactics.
Or, more likely, you pick a hero and mess something up five minutes in, and your entire team gets angry because they know you just lost them the game.
Good luck. And like Dota 2 , the people who are still playing it tend to be very invested at this point. You want to play a MOBA.
Hell, you need to play a MOBA. In that case, why choose League of Legends over Dota 2? The truth is you should just pick whichever one your friends are playing or whichever art style appeals more, and jump in. Warframe should be one of the bad free-to-play games. It gets repetitive. There are major balance issues.
It is, in other words, a predatory free-to-play game. But for some reason none of that matters. In many ways, Warframe fulfills the promise of Destiny — excellent mechanics supporting an excellent feedback loop. You grind, sure. Credit to Digital Extremes for supporting the game, too. Pretty impressive for a game that helped kick off this entire console generation. The Bungie-Activision divorce had a huge impact on Destiny 2 in , but the biggest change of all?
