The Finals combines finely tuned gunplay with mind-boggling physics simulations that run without hitches over multiplayer. That alone should sell the game. The presentation is peak overstimulation without being obnoxious, the emergent interactions between weapons and environment elements is continually surprising, and no two matches play the same due to the shifting environments. If it weren't released during the Game Awards, it would be game of the year.
