Valorant is one of the fastest-growing, most exciting games out there on the market right now. Since its release in 2020, the game has taken over the competitive (and casual) gaming scene by storm, with millions of players daily. Despite all these hours logged on Valorant, one of the biggest questions remain unanswered: The Phantom …
Valorant and Overwatch are two massively popular online games that share numerous similarities. We categorize them as shooters with elements of MOBAs. However, although these two have similarly vibrant environments, traditional FPS modes, and ability systems, they emphasize different things. Given they were made by two beloved developers, their respective fan bases continuously bicker as …
Hi Rez Studios’ SMITE has seen many crossovers with other IPs, from Transformers to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to my personal favorite, Avatar the Last Airbender. However, they have boldly done a crossover with Old School RuneScape as well, and much to my surprise (just kidding), it looks great, as usual. However, while this type …
For the longest time, Team Fortress 2 was considered the staple of team-based shooters.

I’ve never met a MOBA player who doesn’t want to exploit the system. From picking overpowered heroes and team composition to using straight-up hacks, there is little players won’t do to increase their MMR. Like everyone else, I’m guilty of this sin. During my best League of Legends/Dota 2 days, I would constantly spam characters …
A true knight in For Honor is a fan of longswords, heavy attacks, and bashing things with their boulder shoulders until their opponent suffers brain damage. The truest of all these knights is the Warden, your standard vanilla white knight who also happens to kick ass. For Honor is a hyperrealistic fighting game established by …
Due to the complexity of MOBAs, it’s always better to start with characters that have simple mechanics. That way, you can learn more about pacing, items, skills, and other concepts without having to worry if you missed your spell. Overwatch 2 is no different in that regard. Although usually considered much simpler than Dota 2 …
At the core of For Honor is war and fighting at its truest and deadliest form. Of all the heroes in the game, the one that embodies this principle the most is the Warmonger. Seeking to separate the wolf from the sheep, Warmongers leap into the fray and lash out at their enemies to provide …
