Blue skies and jump pads in The Finals.

Destructive, team-based multiplayer shooterThe Finalshas launched. The release was announced during this evening’s Game Awards, but has been long expected. The Finals had a successful open beta last month, after which it became the most wishlisted game on Steam.The Finals is free-to-play and so you candownload it from Steam now.THE FINALS | Season 1 | Launch TrailerThe Finals launch trailer.Watch on YouTubeIf you missed out on the open beta: The Finals pits teams of three against each other as they fight over vaults and cash boxes, seeking to be the first to deposit a certain amount of funds in a frantic first-person shooter that’s framed like a game show.The real hook is that its levels, set in cities around the world, are completely destructible. You can take a sledgehammer to a door, fire a propane tank at a wall, drop C4 in through a skylight, and cause enough damage that entire buildings collapse.I played a lot of the betaand had a lot of fun, although I also found it too frantic for its own good. It’s a game in which you’ll spend your entire time running (with parkour and grappling hooks, mind you), desperate to reach an item, steal an item, or stop an enemy.Of course, that rush is also what makes it exciting and moreish, and I’m keen to play it more now it’s out in the wild.Can’t get enough of Geoff’s annual advert hype machine?
