“Splitgate is "Halo" for platforms which do not have access to Halo, and as such, it is unlikely to do well on PC or Xbox once Halo Infinite finds its footing.”
Is Marvel Rivals Worth Playing?

Is Deceive Inc Worth Playing?

Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Worth Playing?

Is Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Worth Playing?

Is Rogue Company Worth Playing?

Is Mecha BREAK Worth Playing?
“Mecha BREAK is a decent mech game, albeit one that suffers from a failing community and a ghastly portrayal of female characters.”

“Epic Games' first attempt at recapturing the success of Fortnite's first OG season, Fortnite Reload, isn't half bad; however, now, Fortnite OG is here to stay; it needs to chart its own course.”
Is Escape From Tarkov Worth Playing?
“Escape From Tarkov is a fantastic game and, without a doubt, the king of the extraction genre; however, its developers' troubling pro-Russian views and heavy censorship are problematic.”

“While it was always problematic, The First Descendant’s headlong descent into goonerism has all but destroyed any chance of it being accepted as anything more than “a game for gooners.””
Is Terminull Brigade Worth Playing?

Is RAID: World War II Worth Playing?
“While I commend Starbreeze Studios for allowing Sidetrack Games to work on RAID: World War II, I feel that RAID: World War II is beyond the point of saving at this point, and Sidetrack Games’ time and talent would be better utilised on titles such as Payday 2, which is still actively enjoyed by tens of thousands of players each day.”

Is Killing Floor III Worth Playing?
“While Killing Floor 3, is decent fun to play on your own, and exceptionally fun with friends, most things involving zombies and guns are, which is why it continues to struggle for market share in a year dominated by better games.”
Is FragPunk Worth Playing?
“Fragpunk’s unique take on the hero shooter genre is refreshing, but without a massive increase in active players, it may already be too late to ensure its long-term survival”
Is Fortnite: Save the World Worth Playing?
“Despite being almost entirely overshadowed by Fortnite: Battle Royale, Fortnite Save the World still has something to offer in 2022 and, in many ways, is more worth playing today than it was in 2017 due to its almost complete integration with the wider Fortnite universe.”
Is Fortnite Ballistic Worth Playing?
“The Concept of a first-person Fortnite mode is excellent; however, based on everything we have seen so far, Fortnite Ballistic doesn't have what it takes to compete with the market leaders.”

Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011) Worth Playing?

Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) Worth Playing?
“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) remains one of the most iconic and controversial video games in history, and while it has been remastered and remade twice, playing the original is still enjoyable for those who wish to experience it as it was originally intended. ”
Is Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Worth Playing?

“Despite having the weakest campaign in the history of the series, Call of Duty Black Ops III redeems itself by offering the most robust zombie mode offering in the franchise's history alongside passable, if not enjoyable, multiplayer content.”
Is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) Worth Playing?
“While the sun has long ago set on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, its legacy lives on, with the Modern Warfare series receiving two sequels, two remasters, two Battle Royales, and three remakes, a feat that no other Call of Duty series has come close to copying.”
Is Battlefield IV Worth Playing?

Is Supplice Worth Playing?
“Supplice greatest strength and weakness is its reliance on nostalgia, and as a result, while it is likely to appeal to gamers from the 1990s, beyond giving a glimpse of "how things used to be", it has very little to offer anyone born within the past 20+ years.”

Is Hypercharge: Unboxed Worth Playing?
“While I can not fault the developer's passion, it is time they stopped trying to make HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed a thing, as much like Gretchen's dream of making "fetch" a thing, it is never going to happen.”
Is Call of Duty: Ghosts Worth Playing?
“Despite the Call of Duty fandom crying out for more unique entries in the series, it seems every time Activision tries something new, the fandom reacts poorly, of which Call of Duty: Ghosts is a perfect example.”

“Call of Duty Black Ops IV is the tragic tale of a franchise losing its identity at a time when gaming was less than a year away from a revolution that would change the way people engage with multiplayer games forever.”

Is Primal Carnage: Extinction Worth Playing?
“Despite wallowing in mediocrity, Primal Carnage: Extinction retains a small but loyal following over seven years after release, Remarkable!”
Is Highguard Worth Playing?
“The immense hate surrounding Highguard’s reveal and subsequent launch is far more interesting than the game itself, which despite the claims of the hivemind is far from awful. Unfortunately for Wildlight Entertainment, it is also far from good, and its long-term survival is not assured.”

“Battlefield Hardline was a great game but a poor first for the franchise, which until that point had not strayed from the tried and true nation vs nation formula.”

Is Outlawed Worth Playing?
“Outlawed isn't a bad game, but there are better games out there more deserving of your time, money and attention, and I recommend playing those instead.”
Is APB Reloaded Worth Playing?
“Dated visuals and a toxic community make it very difficult to recommend APB Reloaded, even if it has proven its ability to survive on a shoestring budget and next to no developer support for the better part of a decade.”
Is High on Life Worth Playing?
“High on Life feels like a game made by someone whose only goal in life is to be offensive”
Is Stuffed Worth Playing?
“Stuffed is a worse version of better games that appeals to virtually no one and has a less than zero chance of recovering from its disastrous multiplatform launch.”
Is Shadow Warrior 3 Worth Playing?
“Shadow Warrior 3 is tedious, vulgar, unimaginative, and frankly, the franchise needs to grow up and start releasing titles with more to offer than fart jokes, innuendo, and offensive racial stereotypes, or disappear entirely.”
Is Diabotical Worth Playing?
