Tekken 7 is my most favorite among the fighting games that I played. Characters on this game have anime feel with over the top story with a very iconic characters to play with such as Alisa,Devil Jin, King and Panda and returning fighters such a Julia Chang, Ganryu.

Additional guest fighters such as Akuma, Negan, and Noctis Lucis from Final Fantasy XV! and a very competitive playbase, anywhere you go in an arcade or an online match, there’s always gonna be a challenger to fight you.

16.) Team Fortress 2

Release Date: 2007 | Genre: Hero Shooter Developer: Valve Steam

team fortress 2
Oldest Game mentioned here, but don’t get fooled, the game is still in the top 10 concurrent players on steam! boasting with around 50,000+ players, and free to play to boot, with the same free to play model as CSGO and Dota 2 .

One of the best free to play  model that only sell cosmetics instead, rather than pay to win items. And you can also buy and sell your cosmetic on steam’s community market.

The only downside of this game is that Valve is rarely updates the game and focus on more lucrative projects like Dota , CSGO and other new IP’s in the works.

Don’t get discourage though, there still enough players to play the game and worth the shot.

15.) Dota Underlords

Release Date: 2019 | Genre: Auto Battler Developer: Valve Steam

dota underlords
Dota 2’s 2nd spin off, Dota Underlords take to a popular auto battler to compete with TeamFight tactics and Autochess.

Using the same heroes from the original Dota 2 with the use of underlords (your personal character for the game) each offer unique play style and added new content to expand the lore of Dota 2.

If you’re a dota 2 fan and loves auto battlers this game is for you.

14.) TeamFight Tactics

Release Date: 2019 | Genre: Auto Battler | Developer: Riot Games | LOL

teamfight tactics
Riots answer to Dota Underlords and Autochess, that uses Riot games IP, League of Legends as their roster. The game established fast, having monthly players of 33 million that makes you wonder how good the game is.

TeamFight Tactics is very accessible with low system requirements and if your’re already a fan of League of Legends or likes anime, the game is right up to your alley.

13.) Rocket League

Release Date: 2015 Genre: Sports Developer: Psyonix, Panic Button GamesSteam

Described as “soccer, but with rocket-powered cars” the game’s has positive reviews, and awards. The games Esports is quite big. the game is very fun, and challenging game to play.

12.) Hearth Stone

Release Date: 2014 Genre: Card Game Developer: Blizzard Entertainment | Battle.net

hearth stone
Blizzard’s use of existing lore from Warcraft, gives the game worth playing for the fans.

11.) Battlefield V

Release Date: 2018 Genre: First Person Shooter Developer: Dice, Criterion Software | Origin

battlefield v

Very few AAA games nowadays tackle WW II, Battlefield V’s has massive battlefield on different locations, different game modes, and they have battle royale game mode, named Firestorm.


The game uses a very powerful frostbite engine with dynamic destructible objects and ray tracing capabilities that makes you awe every time you play.


The only problem of the game is the story mode, which are very misleading but nonetheless its a decent multiplayer game worth to try.


Other problems were added, now this game will no longer receive major updates due to their new project battlefield 6 releasing on 2021
but don't worry they will still support for maintaining the game operational.

Its still a great game and  you should give it a try but I just don’t recommend buying in game items.


10.) Overwatch

Release Date: 2015 Genre: Hero Shooter | Developer: Blizzard Entertainment, Iron Galaxy Battle.net

overwatch
Blizzard’s very popular Esports title. Overwatch take, on hero shooter with memorable characters such as tracer and diva and unique abilities.

Fun and exciting gameplay, the only download side is the game is not free and its on battle.net.

9.) Destiny 2

Another free to play game, this looter shooter game have unique customization for your gurdian, and abilities to use.

Very rich lore, and fun to play with players or friends.

8.) PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS

Release Date: 2016 Genre: Battle Royale Developer: PUBG Corporation, Krafton | Steam

playerunknown's battleground
The game that started it all. In 2017 the game took the long standing concurrent players count on steam from the games such as gta v and Dota 2, but gradually loses its popularity. The game still on the top charts but lost its most of its casual playerbase.

PUBG also has steam community market place, worth to check it out.

This game is fun, competitive and nerve racking experience through the end. The game is not free, but the price are worth the investment, its available on steam.

7.) League of Legends

Release Date: 2009 | Genre: MOBA Developer: Riot Games LOL

league of legends
When it comes to competitiveness, League of Legends or LOL is the most toxic along side Dota 2. The game made in 2009 which is early standalone MOBA and in turn to get the Original Dota players aboard.

By being first in the market without competition, therefor LOL established itself to become the most successful MOBA.

They have anime video ads to attract weebs (except me), Esports and the most popular game before Fortnite showed up.

6.) Fortnite

Release Date: 2017 | Genre: Battle Royale | Developer: Epic Games Epic Game Store

fortnite
Epic game’s signature game. Given its cartoony art style and its own Pretoria of mechanics such as building things.

The game gains popularity amongst children, the game has a lot of skins to choose from, with different IPs from other companies and events, and of course the battlepasses.

Fortnite is very popular on twitch.

The game also has its own Esports scene. Last year the game has the largest prize pool but it didn't take long as due to Dota 2’s prize pool overtaking it as the largest esports prize pool in the world.

With the advent of battle royale games, Fortnite continues to be the top of its class but not for long because of the new contenders, such as Call of duty Warzone.

The game is fun to play, and you should already know that the game is free, only available in epic game store.


5.) Apex Legends

Release Date: 2019 | Genre: Battle Royale Developer: Respawn Entertaiment | Origin

apex legends
The game was known as the “Fornite killer”, but din’t happen, it has its own unique mechanics and features that other battle royale games that doesn’t have.


A Hero shooter with battle royale genre clash together with a different feel, than others that makes the game very unique.

And the use of  a heavily modified source engine to power their big maps to its limits.

The game is free to play and available in origin.

4.) Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

Release Date: 2015  Genre: Tactical Shooter | Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Steam, Ubisoft

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
The most realistic shooter than CSGO. The game boast with lots of variety including awesome gadgets, customizable guns and operators. the level of technicality of this game is superb.

Being a big contender to CSGO, its no surprise that it has its own Esports scene and one of the top ten concurrent player counts on Steam! With over 80,000+ players currently playing and counting.


3.) Dota 2

Release Date: 2013 | Genre: MOBA Developer: Valve | Steam

dota 2
One of Valve’s masterpiece and the game popularized the MOBA genre, Dota 2 started as a mod for World of Warcraft III.

Dota 2 is very hard to learn, very rewarding experience, addictive gameplay with great depth, that makes it apart to other MOBAs.

All heroes are free and without using pay to win items, the only thing you could buy in this game are all purely cosmetics.

The game has a solid lore.

Very useful features such a Demo Mode, Spectator Mode and game modes like, Turbo Mode Arcade Mode. It also has better graphics than any other MOBAs.

A yearly big Esports LAN event called the International and pro players around the world compete with the largest prize pool in the world, it done so since 2013 every year.

Dota 2's engine is powered by valve's latest game engine called source 2, a very few of their games using the engine to do so.

The game is also very competitive in pubs, try the game if your resistant to toxic behavior and its available on steam for free.


You can also check my review for Dota 2.

2.) Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Release Date: 2012 | Genre: Tactical Shooter Developer: Valve Steam

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Known as CSGO, the latest alteration of the classic franchise that started as a mod for half life.

CSGO is being updated regularly again in a response to competition.

With ever growing playerbase since the game change into free to play, and now on par with Dota 2’s playerbase. And the game is now number one on steam in terms of concurrent players and current peak.

The game has Esports scene, Modding and a very lucrative marketplace by selling cosmetics.

The game is tried and tested and perfect for playing with friends or play competitively and many maps from official to community made ones to choose from.

1.) Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) / Call of Duty Warzone

Release Date: 2019 Genre: First Person Shooter Developer: Infinity Ward  Battle.net

Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) / Call of Duty Warzone
With the release of Warzone as free to play, the game gain a lot of players, giving its own spin of an already popular battle royale genre. The game boast a massive map that supports 150 players!

The game introduces new features, such as the Gulag, when you die you’ll be transported there and you will still get action rather than just watching your teammates hence nothing like on other battle royale games, due to that you just sit there and do nothing.

 If you win you will redeploy to the main game and meet your teamates there.


The Call of Duty feel is better than ever with lots of ways to win the game, and vehicles to ride on.


If you buy Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019), you’ll get more multiplayer options and awesome campaign.

An Action pack game that you should play and just Warzone alone is very fun, exciting, and very competitive experience.



If you don’t like how your game is lower or not on the list, don’t worry its only my own opinion, and what games you truly like, wins overall.
