The Best PS4 FPS Is One You'll Probably Never Play

2. Teamwork Is Key

Just like in the games Firewall takes inspiration, teamwork is essential, as wandering off alone can easily see you walking straight into an ambush. It's relieving, then, that the developers have managed to encourage jolly cooperation as much as possible.

I've never been one for talking to strangers on even the most teamwork-oriented shooters, but I found myself doing just that in Firewall without even noticing. Perhaps it's down to the immersion or simply the short-but-sweet set up of matches, but it feels natural to call out the location of enemies and communicate verbally with your team, which in turn encourages you to stick with the same group for extended sessions.

The vast array of complimentary classes and weapons aids this as well, because while you don't need to be hyperaware of what the rest of your team is using, you also don't want to all be rocking resupply kits and no grenades.
