Game to Discuss?
As I've just seen a clip from a S-tier qualifier game where someone lost the final match because they didn't know a 25 year old mechanic (pro RTS players btw 
) I'll declare Age of Empires 2 the game of the week!
This week's entry will be Age of Empires 2
Take control of a powerful civilization. Lead them through 1000 years of the Middle Ages to riches and greatness. Will you Intimidate the world into following you by using military force? Rule the world with honor and nobility by using commerce and diplomacy? Or Underhandedly seize power through conspiracy, deception and regicide? There are many paths to power, there can only be one ruler!

THE FINALS is a really interesting game and it's weird to even be talking about it because I generally hate modern AAA multiplayer games, and THE FINALS is a really unfortunate case of a great game wrapped in awful packaging.
The game itself looks, sounds and even feels generic at first glance (free to play battle royale gameshow with quirky humor and colorful characters!!! so original!!
) but mechanically it's actually quite unique in the multiplayer space.
First off, it's not a battle royale or extraction shooter, it's (3v3v3) or (3v3v3v3) depending on the gamemode. Objectives in the gamemodes generally revolve around a device you have to get to and use, like a drop point or cash box, etc. The interesting part comes in when you realize:
Objectives are physics objects that can be moved
Nearly the entire map is destructible, so you could blow up the floor under and objective to move it
The environment contains other physics object that interact in interesting ways that you can shoot or pick up with your HL2 gravity gun - as an example there's a bunch of elemental barrels that contain fire, smoke, Prey-style goop, toxic gas, etc. - these interact in a multitude of interesting ways, such as fire burning goop walls, smoke putting out fire, etc.
There are character cowtools you can utilize like placable turrets, ziplines, jumppads and many varieties of grenades (and a bunch of other cowtools ranging from overpowered to totally useless) - placing a jumppad for example can actually catapult the objective, a grenade, a player, a chunk of wall, a goop barrel, etc.
To avoid more
, I'll summarize by saying it feels like fast-paced like Apex/Titanfall and highly dynamic like an Arkane game (Like Prey or Dishonored - not their new shit) with what I'd call light immersive-sim elements. 
It's free to play with all of the usual battle-pass shit - thankfully you don't have to spend a cent and you start with most of the best items already unlocked.
Highly recommended to try out (if you have two friends that are also interested, soloing this game SUCKS) before the game inevitably dies in a few weeks because it looks generic as frick in an over-saturated market.
