Best 5 Action Games To Play

The new era of video games have focused more on online multiplayer game modes. The genres of battle royale, FPS, and MMORPG, which is a multiplayer game with large pool of players in it, have become common. However, the old school singleplayer storyline games have not become a thing of past. In fact, they have become better, exciting and more intricate than ever before.

The feel of playing an action game with a solid storyline and a thrilling climax is something single-player gamers thrive on. Even open world games like GTA Vice City and Mafia II were legendary.

On the other hand, Action-Adventure games like Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and the Devil May Cry series were fun playing and brilliant for killing time on the boring weekends. Here are top five games which will help you revive the love for delightful action and adventure.

The amazing series of Lara Croft’s adventure trilogy comes to an end with this part as its final piece. The story has got some critics about being fast and poorly narrated, and it is, if you nitpick. However, the game is very praiseworthy for the most part. The previous part of the game was a huge success and this one comes very close, if not equal to it.

Firstly, the gameplay of this title is outstanding. The world around you is just waiting to be explored and there are so many interactions you can do. The shooting and stealth mechanics of the game are also supreme and possibly even better than the last part.

The role of Lara who is the protagonist of the game is strong and well done. The weapons most commonly used are a bow, pistol, rifle and shotgun. The weapons are upgradable as you proceed in the game. Lara can hide in bushes, mud and on top of trees and can orchestrate attacks without using a single bullet and that is how stealth works in the game.

The only odd one out on the list, but just because Apex: Legends is a battle-royale shooter does not mean that the game lacks pure thrills of an action game. In fact this game is more than just action - it is dependent on communication with online teammates.

Game characters have powerful abilities and use different weapons to fight. Just like other battle-royale games, it is mandatory to learn weapons and what they do but it is also crucial to know about the characters.

This game is a revolution in the gaming industry because it synergizes character abilities and rules of battle-royale together. The game’s gunplay is based on Titanfall 2 mechanics, which were brilliant but are even better here.
