The Finals is a fresh take on the competitive shooter genre, offering dynamic gameplay, innovative mechanics, and an immersive atmosphere for players. The game stands out with its destructible environments, allowing players to create, destroy, and reshape the battlefield in real-time. This feature adds unpredictability and creativity, rarely seen in similar games.

The pacing of matches is perfect for those who enjoy fast-paced and action-packed gameplay. Whether you prefer running and gunning or strategically setting traps, this game has something for every playstyle. Team objectives encourage cooperation, but the flexibility of the mechanics also allows for individual plays that can turn the tide of the battle.

Visually, The Finals impresses with its vibrant art style and smooth animations. The detailed map design not only makes the arenas feel alive but also offers tactical opportunities for players willing to explore and analyze their surroundings.

Personally, I’m not a fan of the developers adding melee weapons like katanas, hammers, and swords to a shooter. I’d prefer if they focused on providing more variety in firearms instead. Additionally, I skipped playing a whole season in ranked mode because they introduced a raw and, in my subjective opinion, uninteresting 5v5 mode.

Overall, The Finals is an ambitious and highly engaging experience that brings fresh ideas to the genre. However, the game is more suited for enthusiasts of highly dynamic shooters, as the pace might not appeal to everyone.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
