The Finals - Deposit, Defend and Demolish All

Permalink

I have high hopes for this game made by ex-Battlefield devs. The first trailers sold me on the concept and the look. Getting hyped for a game, purely based on trailers is often a recipe for crushing disappointment but, thankfully, reports from from streamers I like who are experiencing the open beta are generally positive.

The game might still not be for me but the overwhelming chaos, potential for lateral thinking and slow ass TTK are all things I find in games I adore.

Initial teaser:

I sent this game to my brother and he said, "oh sh*t, is this a new Monday Night Combat?"

I love the destruction, the limited respawns, and the fact that it's not a BR. Eager to give it some hands-on time.

Yeah, I’m hoping my mates might be into it. Honestly it’s the sort of game I’ll happily play with randoms even though a team has a significant advantage. Teo playing the beta for 3 and a half hours. I’m feeling the menu music.

The good and bad of the game in it’s current state.

Meanwhile, in the finals (weird thumbnail but fun video):

It’s all good but the end of this one is particularly brilliant:

I like the look of this, though I've read a handful of first impressions that are a bit mixed. If they make an Xbox version I hope it comes to gamepass so I can try it out.

It is coming to Xbox, and it's free to play so Game Pass doesn't matter.
