Similarly, if you pull off a great move in a game, or defeat a boss-monster against all odds with only one sliver of health left for yourself, and nobody’s there to see it, does it even really count? Sometimes, you need a buddy (or five) to make a fun gaming session feel worthwhile. That’s where co-op games come in. Co-ops are not competitions. They’re things you can play with other people, not against other people. What the best co-op games offer is camaraderie, teamwork, and sometimes, if you totally slip up, the comfort of your friends being on hand to save the day and do the hard work of winning for you.

December 02, 2018For a fast, team-based, and multi-player squad vs. squad match-battle, first-person shooter game, Overwatch certainly has a lot of thought put into its backstory and character designs.

September 14, 2018The era of the battle royale game is upon us, thanks in no small part to last year’s wildly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (also known as PUBG) and the more recent, and even more successful, Fortnite. The battle royale genre began with mods for large-scale online survival games like Minecraft before becoming popularized with standalone games such as PUBG and Fortnite. Imitation is one of the sincerest forms of flattery, and many of the games on our list are certainly paying tribute.
