Comment on What is your Game of the Year?

THE FINALS:tm:

Rather advanced gameplay, extremely fast-paced and chaotic, quite heavy to run, even with most of it running on servers.

But damn when it was first released a year ago, I instantly got hooked from the vibes and then stayed for the breath of fresh air in the FPS genre. The description above also happens to match really well with my ADHD tendencies.

Good game. I played during/after the beta, I felt like it needed a bit more variety in guns and maps. Have they been adding stuff since?

  You bet they did:
  
  Season 2 CNS/ “The Finals Hacked” theme:
  
  New gamemodes:
  
  Powershift (tug-of-war meets convoy on a moving platform) Terminal Attack (Search & Destroy, but it’s hacking terminals instead)
  
  Sys$Horizon, new map, “unfinished/leaked” 80s style
  
  Hacking-themed gadgets such as the dematerializer and the gateway
  
  Weapons ofc (I don’t remember which ones tho)
  
  Season 3: Japan theme:
  
  We don’t talk about ranked changes
  
  New game-mode: World Tour (similar to unranked tournament, but 8 teams total, win points progression and end-of-season multibuck rewards)
  
  Bow for light, dual blades for medium, winch claw for heavy
  
  Map: Kyoto 1568
  
  Season 4: Sponsorships
  
  New careers: sponsorships
  
  Dual eagles for heavy, dmr for medium, shotgun for light
  
  Fortune Stadium: the best parts of previous maps, mashed into one and themed with the season sponsors’ colors
  
  Season 5: Time for la fiesta, it’s the anniversary
  
  New map: Bernal, Mexico
  
  New gadgets: Black hole for lights, chain trap for heavy
  
  Shak-50 for heavy, some incendiary shotgun for medium
  
  Jukebox to relive all the OST from current and previous seasons
  
  2 new sponsors, one returning
  
  That’s only what I remember from the top of my head, they added so much. Not to mention the copious amount of high quality cosmetics and the very forgiving monetization

I played every beta of the Finals that I could get accepted into. It felt like what I wanted a new Battlefield game to be. The destructible floors and bridges made it so much fun to set up traps in ways no other game made it possible.

Weirdly enough I have yet to install it since its full release. Still looks like the same amount of fun!
