Thousands of soldiers, air and ground battles as far as you can see, and you somewhere in the chaos.

The profile is jagged, and that says a lot. Fun explodes, ahead of over 80% of games, with desert island close behind above 70%. Then it tumbles: connection and rediscovery around a third, art direction barely better, and sound dead low, ahead of just 11% of titles. There's the tension: an instant adrenaline rush, but little that lingers once the controller's down. All on very few votes, so treat it as tentative.

That's the DNA of the massive FPS. PlanetSide 2 sells scale, the thrill of a thousand-strong brawl, the session you start for five minutes and drop at dawn. But neither intimate attachment nor soundtrack is its turf. These questions, turned toward memory and emotion, poorly catch what gives it its intensity.

So, who's it for? You, if you love collective chaos and endless war between thousands of players. Far less if you want an experience that marks you solo.
