A squad of stylish operatives, a fuse burning down, and lots and lots of explosions.

Let's start with the gut pick, when you choose with no criterion: Rogue Company edges past a little over a third of games, but on a single duel, so handle with care. The criterion breakdown confirms a fairly low profile. Desert island saves face by clearing two thirds, on one isolated vote. Fun grazes the average. Everything else dips: attachment ahead of one game in five, gameplay and art direction near the bottom, and the soundtrack along with the urge to rediscover it right at the floor, that one on several duels, so the read is firmer.

In the free-to-play third-person tactical shooter genre, it plays in the same yard as the snappy multiplayer arenas. These are session games, not memory-makers, which explains why the emotion and rediscovery criteria serve it poorly.

So, who's it for? For you if you love fast gunfights, operatives to unlock, short matches with friends. Much less if you want a world that bonds with you or a soundtrack that follows you out of the game.
