13 Awesome Summer 2018 Video Games You Probably Missed

11. Laser League

Laser League did itself absolutely no favours by picking a generic name that's immediately going to earn it comparisons to Rocket League, even though the two games are incredibly different.

This is a team-based tech-sports game in which players attempt to switch on laser nodes which can obliterate the opposing team. Kill the entire team and you win the round. Simple.

Except Laser League isn't really simple at all. It's easy enough to get into, but with nifty power-ups and a deceptive amount of strategy involved in winning a game, it's enormously rewarding to keep playing and realise just how complex it really is.

Boasting gorgeous, TRON-esque visuals and crisp sound design, Laser League should've distinguished itself in a crowded field, but alas, it's largely been forgotten already. The scant player-base is all the more absurd as the game is even available as part of Xbox Game Pass.
