Finally, Bloodhound's "Beast of the Hunt" increases his speed while allowing him to see through smoke and gasses alongside buffing his other abilities. The recent buff to this ultimate allows Bloodhound to use this move for a longer duration and gets it faster. This ability alone can turn the tides of bat


This can allow you to review vast distances of the surrounding area. This will help to locate enemy squads, spot which Supply Bins have been looted, and plot your next course. Even if an enemy spots you, at least you aren’t walking into their ambush up ah


Some have suggested that instead of matchmaking based on skill, lower-skilled players should grind harder and play better in order to compete with top players. First of all, not everyone has 3,000 hours a year to put into a video game. But more importantly, I'm not really sure how a person can improve when they're getting clobbered every game. After a certain point, it probably wouldn't matter anyway because the player would eventually find a different game that's more fun for t


As an ultimate ability, it is only useful if the player can immediately engage after the EMP goes off. If the enemy has time to recharge shields, especially with the abundance of golden shields, then it has little impact on the fight. For this reason, Crypto ranks lower on the scale, with his saving grace being the drone intel and Apex Legends ranked Guide ability to open doors from afar for a quick grenade t


Portal’s Chell had the right idea—now make GLaDOS proud. Obviously, Wraith’s ability to phase while she extends a portal is highly useful for crossing dangerous terrain. Your entire squad can escape the sharpest eyes of a sniper. However, Wraith’s portal is also useful for downed teammates. Instead of defending another knocked teammate who tried to be a lone wolf, offer them a portal to saf


Respawn Entertainment released two very likable robot characters this year: Pathfinder and BD-1. BD-1 is certainly one of the best features of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Apart from being cute, he is also very useful. His design is also very fresh to the Star Wars universe. BD-1 has some reminiscent design of BT-7274 with the two-leg design and the upper b


Fire Emblem had been spinning its wheels for a long time before the release of Three Houses . Who could have guessed that the latest Fire Emblem game would be one of the most absorbing games of the year, with an interesting overarching story and an incredible battle system that is engaging without being watered down or too difficult to grasp. It can be hard to finish a game once, but Fire Emblem: Three Houses can easily convince players to go through it three times to see the whole story. It’s just a shame that you can’t pet the dog


This year has been a boon for the medium, and frankly, it's hard to pick just five games that I fell in love with (sorry, Pokemon !) But from top-notch fighters to tripped-out techno-thrillers, from RPG masterpieces to ornate remakes, one game edges everything out. __ Resident Evil 2 is not just a stellar remake, it's a master-class in game design - a brilliant case of how to do literally everything right, then somehow go beyond that. It's a sumptuous visual feast held together by tense, responsive gameplay that understands how to maintain what makes classic survival horror while being accessible to contemporary audiences. It's a game literally anyone can enjoy - unless you're a bit squeamish - and the best entry of the franchise to d


The master of Mobility, Pathfinder is the perfect champion for World’s Edge. He can zipline his team up high (where most gunfights are won) to shoot down on enemies. He can grapple in and out of fights with e


Destiny 2: Shadowkeep may not be the biggest expansion set in Destiny's history, but it has elevated Destiny 2 to a place players always hoped the game would get to. There is so much awesome content to pursue and such an interesting, meaningful grind. Two months later and my raid team is still getting together most nights to play crucible, run the Pit of Heresy dungeon, or raid. Even jaded vanilla Destiny 2 players have come back and found the game they always wanted. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is the most fun I've had in any game this y

His passive "tracker" allows him to see enemy footsteps or where they interacted with items on the map. This allows him a powerful tool that can inform him of if an enemy is close by, or if a building has been loo


Using his drone, Crypto can mark the enemy locations for his teammate. Hiding from Crypto is almost impossible given the vast range of his drones and the small size of the ability. Coupled with the EMP ability connected to the drone, it makes Crypto a versatile and oppressive character in the right ha


Disco Elysium is a game where you can be a godawful human being or a superstar cop. I don't think I've had more fun this year with a game than I did stumbling around as my drunken detective, wearing a kimono and waxing poetic about liquor, karaoke, and the pointlessness of life. It's not for everyone, but if you love world-building and playing as self-loathing scumbags, then you should be playing Disco Elysium until you're face down on the fl
