It’s heroes’ abilities add further strategy to the original Counter-Strike-like formula as you create barriers with toxic gas, resurrect fallen allies, and activate seismic charges to shake up the opponent’s standing. The maps are fantastically designed, and the weapons all feel great to control. Last up is Valorant. It combines the fluidity of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and the ability-focused gameplay of Overwatch to create a triumphant FPS in and of itself. The original Overwatch won Game of the Year from The Game Awards for a reason and is a generation-defining title. Every move matters and the majority of maps are designed specifically to help create engaging moments in the battle. Each player has their own role to play on the battlefield - such as Mercy providing healing and Reinhardt protecting his allies with a giant shield.
