15 Essential Video Games Worth Buying A PlayStation 4 For

11. Paragon

Epic Games

Go and boot up Twitch right now, and I can guarantee that when you browse the popular games section, two of the top five members of that list will be MOBA games.

The popularity of League of Legends and DOTA 2 has catapulted the genre onto a global stage far bigger than any the industry is used to, and the formula is now considered to be a professional sport in certain parts of the world.

Is that the same sort of market that Epic Games are hoping to tap into when Paragon officially launches later this year? Perhaps, but it doesn't (and shouldn't) attempt to piggyback off the success of other established names - it has a far higher level of quality and polish than either aforementioned title.

Besides the glorious-looking visuals, Paragon's take on the tug of war gameplay structure simply feels more alive than its contemporaries due to the introduction of more action elements.

Think of a traditional MOBA as being a game of Draughts. Paragon is the far more exciting match of chess in comparison.
