Overview
Description

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

Mortal Kombat 4 brings the legendary 1 vs 1 fighting franchise into the third dimension while maintaining its signature brutal combat and classic mechanics. Players can choose from a roster of fifteen initial fighters, featuring both returning favorites like Scorpion and Sub-Zero alongside fresh challengers. Set after the escape of the fallen Elder God Shinnok from the Netherrealm, Earthrealm's warriors must once again unite to prevent total universal conquest. With the introduction of weapon usage in combat and classic fatalities, the game delivers an intense arcade fighting experience.

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
