“This is such a fresh look at the fps genre. The cashout gamemode is so much quicker and more interesting than a battle royal, but the tournament structure still gives a similar sense of the win being rare and…”
“The Finals is a free to play shooter game. The quick paced action has been a popular strength. The game engine also supports some degree of gaming realism with a destructible game world that is now becoming more common.…”
“Really fun game with fast paced gameplay and a lot of chaos. The destruction is probably my favorite part, every match can get crazy. I mostly play Light and just run around causing problems lol.”

“Great game! The gameplay is quite fun, and the characters look balanced at the start, but there are tons of benefits if you pick The Heavy class. Personally, I don't prefer to play as the Heavy but, at the same time,…”

“Pro: there is no meta unless youre extremely high elo cons: i hate everything that anyone does against me. every weapon, ability, equipment, and skin fuels me with pure anger”
— a player, Steam review · 70 hrs played“Logged into Arc raiders randomly. And saw mission to play this just for a skin. So i said alright ill try it. Not going to lie. Its fun as hell. Glad I tried it. Been looking for a new good shooter. Shocked it has taken me this long to try this game.”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“You can't necessarily learn the game. You play against people who have had hundreds of hours when you have less than 20 hours, with how the movement works, using the surroundings and abilities simultaneously against you when you still trying to learn the basics. It's a fun game…”
