Silence becomes a scanning tool: Unlike other games with a silencing mechanic, Revenant’s Silence (Tactical) has his grenade explode with a small AOE. This technically gives him room to hit multiple opponents at a time and debilitate the enemy’s strategy. In situations where Revenant’s team has encountered an enemy but has no idea about their positions, a well-placed Silence throw can not only reveal the general direction of an enemy but even give Rev’s team time to start a counteratt

Clank is similar to BT-7274 in that the personality between the two characters is a strong bond. Even though Cooper and BT's personalities are more serious, Ratchet and Clank still have a similar relationship in a lighter tone. Clank's ability to be smart and funny in serious situations is enjoyable. Clank would make the perfect companion to any

Overwatch is full of robots and Bastion is not the only playable one. The reason Bastion makes this list apart from the others is because Bastion has the most personality and the most interesting backstory from the others. Bastion was a front-line automaton before he was lost in the middle of a forest. Over time, the killer robot lost its programm

Not only can we envision Overwatch as a Netflix TV show, but we view it as its own universe like Marvel 's. As Disney+ is already set to release four shows based on Marvel characters in 2021 and has several more on its slate, there’s no reason the Overwatch characters couldn’t provide the framework for an intertwined series of characters whose lives intersect. Building on the cinematics that made fans fall in love with Overwatch ’s characters, a series of TV shows could explore these characters and their roles in depth. To that end, Overwatch ’s dramatic interpretation of the role of artificial intelligence in the future is worthy of exploration as the dangers of AI begin to manifest in modern soci

Top Apex Legends players are making impassioned pleas for game developer Respawn to do away will skill-based matchmaking (SBMM). From their perspectives, it’s not fair that public matches feel as competitive — if not more competitive — than ranked games . This is indeed problematic, as ranked exists specifically so top players can compete at a top-tier level. Players who play public matches shouldn’t be subject to the same level of competitive p

While I loved playing every game in my top five, I put Control at number one because of the way it grabbed my attention and held it in a way that the other four just couldn’t. It was creepy and bizarre in all the right, unique game mechanics ways. I’d obviously never want to actually venture into the Oldest House for real, but Control made it a joy to explore with its unsettlingly intriguing twists and tu

Death Totem (Ultimate): Revenant releases a Death Totem that can give its users the means to fight death. The first time a teammate gets downed or killed while using a Death Totem will have them reappear in the Totem’s spawn point, practically giving them a second l

But The Walking Dead proved the world loves a good zombie show. A game series like CoD: Zombies provides a ton of material, which someone like J.J. Abrams could helm with a mix of suspense and terror that people have come to love. And, while not always extremely coherent, the intersecting timelines and high-stakes decisions that comprised the Aether timeline are worthy of a spot on Netflix’s programming sl

Nier: Automata came out of nowhere to wow audiences with an incredible narrative, fun combat, and memorable characters who have a ton of life in them even though they may be robots. Such is the case with 2B, the game's iconic protagonist, who has become quite popular with f

The Thunderjaw is the only robot on this list with a lack of consciousness or individuality. It acts like a creature or animal. The rest of the robots on this list are smart and interact with humans in a more civilized way. On the other hand, the Thunderjaw is a stand-out on this list because of its pure design and purp

Prioritize debuffs before kills: Whereas most players would prefer engaging in firefights to prove their supremacy against equally-geared characters, Revenant players would appreciate debuffing enemies first prior to killing them. Revenant’s silencing mechanic ensures enemies won’t have a shot at using their abilities against Rev’s team, forcing them to rely on whatever weapons they have to reclaim the advantage. And even then, it’s likely too late once the rest of Rev’s team arri

Even then, it's hilarious to see GLaDOS reject morality, going so far as to wipe the emotional part of her memory when she starts experiencing human emotions. It's a small yet memorable moment that cements why players consider GLaDOS to be one of the best parts of Portal

Movement is life, almost every time. Once a team recognizes your position, they can formulate a plan to eliminate you. This even holds true in the middle of a firefight. It’s easy to get trapped in a building while the enemy flushes you out, or decides to push. Generally speaking, it is best to stick together. But it can also help to level-change within structures, particularly if your teammates are already down. Somehow, it is surprisingly easy to lose an individual if they circle around, double back, climb or descend throughout combat. And if the enemy is weakened, you can even catch them unawares while they try to loot your dead teamma
