Newcomers getting into the FPS genre might feel overwhelmed at first at the idea of Rainbow Six: Siege . Due to the tactical nature of Rainbow Six Siege , players need to rely on careful planning, reconnaissance with drones and cameras, and even reinforcing (or breaking through) walls and doors.

One of these is its CT-sided nature, which is likely what Nuke is most known for. While it was always a popular map despite this reputation, the casual and professional scene responded very positively to the changes.

The newest installment in SNK's long-running 2D fighter, The King of Fighters XV was met with a warm reception from fans of the series. Like many of the games before it though, KoF XV is very hard for newcomers. It doesn't have as big of a player base as Tekken or Super Smash Bros, and thus newcomers will probably be facing players much better than them more frequen

This, doubled with the game's wildly difficult execution, makes the game one of the hardest for newcomers to approach in the fighting SLG game Cheats scene.

All in all, KoF XV is a fun yet brutal game for newcomers to le

When it comes to games that have a history of consistency and familiarity, very few can match what Counter-Strike: Global Offensive brings to the table. When it was released back in 2012, CS:GO was the game to be brought the player bases of Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source together. While it mostly succeeded in this endeavor, it wasn't without gowning pains. Thankfully much of that is in the past, so nowadays most players look forward to the future of the g
