Grand Theft Auto V is a third-person (and optionally first-person) action-adventure open-world game with many online multiplayer elements. The basics of the gameplay sees you traversing a huge open-world, either on foot or in a vehicle, while completing missions, many of which pertaining to robbery and heists.

Dota 2 includes Workshop Tools that allow users to create custom games as well as other play them.
Pro Deny creeps
You can kill your own low-health creeps to deny experience and gold to the other team.
Pro Can be played online and offline
With different Bots difficulty levels, if you play offline, you still need to be logged in Steam.
Pro Games only take 5 minutes
Each game has a time limit of 5 minutes, paused only when one team scores and the ball is reset to mid-field.
Pro Clear objective
Get the ball in the net! Soccer at it's simplest, this game is physics driven using different cars as players, making it a fast-paced and exciting game.
Pro Simple controls
Whether you use a controller or keyboard and mouse, the controls are fairly simple. You are driving a car pushing a ball around, with forward, reverse, boost, power-slide and jump as your only real abilities to learn. The difficulty comes in learning to use these abilities to perform in air and...
Pro Emphasis on cooperation makes for interesting gameplay
Your crew needs to bring specific equipment and weapons to make stealth or a gunfight easier. You also need to pay attention to your crew's health and ammo.
Pro Exceptional variation
Missions can be finished in wildly different ways.
Pro Actively maintained
New DLCs are released regularly.
Con Pay to win
PlanetSide 2 has pay to win mechanics meant to coerce players into paying for equipment to avoid the extremely long grind it takes to earn anything in game. A brand new player with a deep wallet can customize their gear to their prefered playstyle giving them an advantage over those that opt not to
Pro Vehicles
The vehicle options in game add a lot more depth to the strategy of planning attacks on the enemy.
Con Poor tutorial, hard to figure all mechanics out
PlanetSide 2 does a poor job at explaining how to play the game or what anything in the mues do. Equipment loadouts are confusing as well as a minefield of pay items.
Pro 6 distinctive roles that allow for variety of play
Crew on the bridge consists of a captain and 5 stations: Engineering - in charge of energy distribution and the DamCon Science - in charge of scanning and information distribution Weapons - in charge of military equipment Comms - in charge of monitoring communications between enemi...
Con Difficult to play online
Artemis is built with LAN play as its focus, making online multiplayer a bit of a pain as the user has to port forward.
Pro Focus on social interaction and teamwork
A team of players have to cooperate in order to play and succeed in this game, making it highly interactive.
Con Art style can lead to confusion
In a frantic game like Monaco, the distinction between a door and a light switch can be a life or death mistake. The minimalist design can be very pretty, but may be game ending or at least very irritating in some situations.
Pro Requires input from all players
Unlike many games where "better" players can carry the group along, Monaco actually allows each player to feel like a hero when their character's skill benefits the group.
Pro Dynamic soundtrack
The soundtrack, by Grammy nominated composer Austin Wintory, is a Jazz themed composition that adapts to the situation that you are in, whether you are unnoticed or wreaking havoc and everything in between.
Pro Integrates RTS elements on top of a shooter
The game has two completely different factions - the humans and an alien race called Kharaa. One player in each team can become a Commander, who then issues orders, RTS-style.
Pro Teamwork is essential
To really advance and do well in the game teamwork is essential.
Pro Kharaa can evolve into 5, highly distinct classes
There are 5 different classes that the Kharaa can evolve into.
Con Excessive snowballing on certain characters
If not countered or shut down early, some characters can become extremely strong, making a comeback for the other team virtually impossible.
Pro Great graphics and art style
SMITE, by far, has the best graphics and art style in the scene, the map design is great, Hi-Rez studios tries their best to keep the gods as mythological lore-like as possible, and the cosmetic skins crushes the other cosmetic skins in other MOBAs. They have these what they call Tier 5 skins, li...
Pro Provides a lot of incentives to play the game often
You have the daily quests which rewards you favor and gems (in-game currency). So you don't have to worry logging in daily, like its previous predecessor, the daily log-in reward. There are gem events, which is a limited period of time in which players can get gems (valued in game currency)....
Pro Chaotic, fun gameplay
Since the main gameplay mechanic of casting spells is skill based where how quickly you execute the key combinations matter, there's a high chance of misclicking or mistargeting and accidentally attacking your ally. Nothing quite like thunderbolting or summoning death on each other.
Con A bit of a learning curve
You have to figure out various and sundry spell combinations, but once you know them, you'll be able to counter anything that's thrown at you.
Con Optimization could be better
At certain times during competitive play, the game can lag or slow down (not rare for an online game), which may mess up the timing of skill shots in the game. Being that timing is highly important to the gameplay, having a poor netcode that fluctuates during play can be upsetting, especially if it
Pro Invigorating team-work dynamic
Left 4 Dead 2 requires players on the same team to cooperate in order to survive. This makes for an interesting team dynamic, as it will be increasingly difficult to make it through a level if any one player on the team decides to go off on their own instead of staying with the group and cooperati...
Pro Awesome game for singleplayer
One of the best co-op games for offline bot play.
Pro Local two-player and online four-player co-op
Left 4 Dead 2 supports two-player local co-op as well as four-player online co-op.
Pro Everything is over the top
Much like an 80s action movie, the violence, destruction and plot is all overly exaggerated. Players can blow apart their enemies with bullets as well as blow up whole section of the game with explosives. There will be blood everywhere and explosions all around.
Pro Things are kept fresh by requiring you to switch up your gameplay style often
The game has 30+ different characters and each character plays differently. You change them every time you die or save a hostage which can be anywhere from every few minutes to seconds.
Pro Excels at co-op
Broforce features 4-player couch and online co-op and it truly shines in that environment. Each additional player will increase the hilariously frantic nature of the game by a significant margin.
Con Bugs that appeared in the original XBox title were not fixed for the PC port
There are still bugs and glitches in the game that were in the original XBox version. Even though there were simple fixes for some of these the dev nor publisher bothered to address them.
Pro Co-op up to 4 players
The most fun to be had with the game is during four player co-op play. The unlockables and upgrades also keep the player wanting to come back and play just a bit more with their friends. The co-op is available as local and online.
Pro Gameplay with a sense of humour
There are several jokes and silly moments throughout the game. All done without speaking any word. This keeps the game lighthearted and amusing thanks to the humor of the creators and how they infused it into the game itself.
Pro Chaotic 1v3 gameplay in Dungeon Maestro Mode
Dungeon Maestro Mode allows for 1v3 asymmetric gameplay where three players face off against one more powerful player. It is through cooperation that the three players can defeat the other one player.
Pro Up to 3 player online or local co-op
Dungeonland supports up to 3 players for online and local co-op play.
Con Buggy
There are quite a few bugs during gameplay such as dying immediately after a respawn. This can be frustrating for the player and makes for a subpar experience.
Con Co-op may leave one or two players out on certain stages
Some stages do not offer gameplay for all co-op players. Although the co-op is drop in drop out, certain points of the game do not offer anything for the other players to do.
Con Tedious level design
There is a lot of backtracking and lever pulling that gives a feeling of lazy level design to elongate the game.
Pro 3 player local co-op
The Cave supports up to 3 player local co-op play. Sadly there is no online co-op.
Con Co-op is boring and confusing
In co-op this game is very confusing with little instruction on how to play and with little to spice up the game play it gets boring quickly.
Con Difficult to the point of frustration
Spelunky is pretty difficult and some could say abusive, but with practice and a desire for masochism the game can be mastered.
Pro Skill based gameplay
Spelunky gives the player everything needed to succeed from the start so it is only when the players skills get better will they advance.
Spelunky is an open-source procedurally generated 2D roguelike platformer that costs $14.99. Co-op: 2-4 local co-op, shared screen. The gameplay consists of randomly generated worlds where the player is tasked with exploring without dying, of which will happen quite often due to the roguelike mechanics of the game.
Con Single player puzzles are frustrating
Many of the single player campaigns are difficult due to frustrating puzzles that can take many tries to complete. As much as it is nice to have a single player campaign the real meat of the game is meant to be in the multiplayer, which shows in the design of these single player missions.
Pro Allows for large multiplayer battles
Up to 6 teams, each with up to 8 worms can be present in the game.
Pro Easy to access multiplayer
Due to Worms Armageddons integrated Worms.net server the multiplayer is simple to join making for an intuitive online experience.
Pro Long single-player campaign
The average playtime for the single-player campaign (referred to as 'Main Story) of ARMA 3 clocks in at just under 20 hours, while a 100% complete playthough of the campaign averages 39 hours of playtime.
Pro Underwater gameplay
ARMA 3 features underwater gameplay with diving gear and underwater weapons. Underwater gameplay is noticeably different, because it uses a third movement axis.
Pro Best in class authenticity
ARMA 3 is built as a simulation-type game and features rather tactical gameplay with a slow pace. The developers use real-life military weapons, equipment and vehicles. Even some of the environments in the game are virtually indistinguishable from their real-life counterpart. ARMA 3's gameplay...
Pro First-person perspective
Battleborn will utilize a first person perspective in what looks to be a MOBA style game.
Con Not released yet
Battleborn is set to be released May 3rd.
Pro All characters start each match at level one
At the beginning of every match all players will start at level one to then accrue levels as the game progresses granting new powers and traits.
Con Fair free to play model
This game is mostly pay-to-gain, as in to get more weapons. You can randomly get things, though. You can use the things you randomly get to be also used in crafting recipes to make other things.
Pro Cross-platform
The game runs on Windows, OS X and Linux machines.
Pro Good VR support
To enable VR support, type -vr in console. TF2 has 8 modes in which to control the game. They can be changed with the command vr_moveaim_mode in console. They offer choice in what combination of aiming and steering should be coupled to the rift and mouse and introduce the concept of dead zones -...
