Paladins

Working on top of the strong and fairly balanced foundation of a free-to-play hero shooter, Paladins’ capacity for experimentation is its greatest strength. Even after over 300 hours of exhilarating battles and strategic planning, champions continue to find a way to offer new gameplay experiences. Whether it’s the main mode that encapsulates the teamwork aspect or the character designs that immediately flow with creativity, Paladins: Champions of the Realm clearly stands out in the midst of competition.

Paladins is a solid hero-shooter with enough nuances to differentiate itself and warrant the widespread praise it's received from players. While it suffers in the map diversity department, a fair roster of heroes and a game design that emphasizes constant brawls makes it an attractive addition to any Steam library. And hero customization through cards and items means the same hero on both teams could be fulfilling entirely different roles.
