It’s basically good in all possible ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n Back in 2015, which is apparently 10 years go now, the shooter genre was packed full of heavy-hitting, very serious, macho video games about firing bullets into people.<\/p>\n This was the year, after all, that brought us Call of Duty: Black Ops 3<\/a> (one of the best ones) and the incredibly shiny Star Wars Battlefront<\/a> (the first time a polished floor genuinely impressed me in a game, and that’s the nicest thing I’ve had to say about Star Wars in ages).
