Fans of Valorant, fans of Overwatch, fans of Spies vs Mercs, fans of Concord...consider checking The Finals out. It's become my personal game of the generation due to it's best in class sandbox, teamplay & tactical design pillars.

Looks like Embark sailed through the rough waters with a hit.

I play it pretty frequently.

The new maps is confusing as hell.

Happy for them, though after 250hrs on the game I'm completely burned out. The game is incredible though.

How team dependent is it if a person is tired of herding cats and just wants to hop in solo for casual matches?

I spent my first real money in the game recently. Well made game!

Play ranked and you'll rarely get cats for teammates. The player base is pretty good about playing the objective now. L class players can still be annoying to play with if they suck though.

Edit: I have no idea about the casual solo experience as I'm there to play as effectively and competitively as possible at all times.

It's certainly better than last season but they are still not great at balancing the game. Some things have been bombed into oblivion while other things that are clearly overperforming are left in. New map almost feels TOO destructible as well. Every building ends up a pile of rubble.

The least team dependent mode is Bank It (my favorite mode with friends), but I'd say it's overall very team dependent. Just because how much more effective from a damage output, let alone the gadgets and abilities.

Give it a shot and try different modes.

I feel like the throwing knives are still broken while the RPG got yet another nerf and is basically useless.

Good on them for sticking with it. I'm not into the whole GaaS thing in any way, shape, or form, but The Finals always seemed pretty cool.

Thanks for the replies. In a shooter lull now waiting for MR to come out, so I might give this a shot.

Powershift is by far the most fun crazy game mode imo. No strat, just a platform to attack/defend. It's just pure chaos.

Haha yea. How do throwing knives do more damage than a god damn RPG?
I feel that lights can make the game unfun to play sometimes. Not necessarily overpowered perse but just extremely annoying and kinda ruins the flow. That and some of the melee weapons, especially after they "fixed" them. I also think the new weapons are overtuned somewhat.

Also, Xtib81 nailed it, Power Shift is a great casual mode.
