Welcome to the BEGINNING OF YOUR END
Lawbreakers hearkens back to the good old quake and unreal tournament days. Where aim at high velocities (or rocket launchers) mattered, not a silly team composition or ultimate abilities. Your skill determined your survivability.
This game was headed by a mastermind in the shooter genre. You might have heard of him. Cliff Bleszinski headed Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. He was with the group Epic Games (The makers of Fortnite and Unreal engine 4).
The game has 9 Roles(classes, champions, whatever) That each have their own skillsets. Each team has these roles, but different characters (so there are no actual clone face-offs)
5v5 focused. Fast-paced CoD style and Black Ops 3 look.
Abilities of mass destruction (or mobility)
AND ZERO GRAVITY SECTIONS IN EACH MAP
This game has a twitch partnership and a Deadzo Deluxe Edition.
There's plenty of customization for everyone with weapon skins (and an inspect weapon key!) Character skins, Stickers for your weapon, boot decals (if you kick someone in the face and kill them they get the boot plastered on their screen.
While this game loves taking in on the popular 4-item lootbox system, the similarities to Overwatch end there. Music throughout the game; Lot's of banter and beef; and powerful feeling guns. Even the Battle Medic often gets MVP
Now The Dealbreaker
This game was sniped out of the door by Blizzard. They launched the Summer Games on the day Lawbreakers came out this year. Due to an over-saturated market (no thanks to Battleborn and Overwatch claiming the supposed "only spot" in the class-based shooter while TF2 claimed that spot.) Player counts are low, really low. BUT THIS GAME IS SO FUN.
This game is trying to hang in for the long run. Right now Steam player caps at 161 most recently. PS4 version seems to be doing fine however, and it's only 30$.
There's just other games that are drawing attention away. Battlefront IV (2005 version for life, get that garbage clone wars droid voice outta here), Destiny 2, COD WW2, and more.
I cant wait to see this game pull a warframe or R6 Siege and get back on its feet.
My rating so far 843/1000
GONNA LIGHT YOU UP!
Next I talk about the Petty fight PUBG has with Fortnite. and then... Probably the Division
