The Finals review

The Finals ranks ninth and is the most distinctive shooter here. Its developer frames it as a free-to-play FPS game show, with commentators reacting to the match, and the destruction is driven by physics rather than scripted events: walls blow apart, floors collapse and whole buildings can come down. The signature mode is Cashout, a 3v3v3 fight over vaults and cash deposits, and the game adds 5v5 Team Deathmatch, 8v8 Point Break, 5v5 Power Shift and Solo Showdown against 11 Contestants. Light, Medium and Heavy builds trade speed for firepower. On Steam, 80% of 160,847 English-language reviews are positive and 73% of recent ones. It is Windows only and has the heaviest minimum spec here at 12 GB of RAM, which limits who can run it. Optional purchases start at $7.99 for the New Contestant Pack. If you want a shooter where the map is a weapon, try it.
