Our Take
The class based shooter is certainly expanding greatly. While Overwatch is the title in the spotlight, Battleborn, Gigantic, and now Paladins are all offering unique takes on the genre. Our own Porshapwr played in the Paladins closed Alpha and came away generally impressed though he had some concerns over map design. We’ll be keeping an eye on Paladins as it nears release.
