What is The Finals about? Exploring gameplay and other features

This title's gameplay is quite simple - run, shoot, and try not to get shot in the process. Team up with your friends or join people in lobbies and take on other players vying for the same goal.

With a 'winner-takes-all' premise, players can duke it out in a variety of different game modes. From tournament modes featuring ranked and unranked matches to a unique mode called Quick Cash, the title does a great job of keeping everything fresh and engaging. Embark Studios is looking forward to adding more game modes, maps, and weapons to the title.

When starting in this FPS game, you must first create your custom character. You are encouraged to go all out in terms of creativity. While some of the cooler-looking cosmetics are locked behind paywalls, Embark allows you to earn them as you play.

The game is forgiving for new players and does not have much of a learning curve for those familiar with FPS games.
