PWND vs Unreal Tournament
PWND
PWND is a team-based, competitive MMOFPS with an arcade-styled gameplay which will remind you of Quake Champions, Unreal Tournament and other similar games. The game features a lineup of uniquely different characters that you can play as, each with their own sets of skills and stats.Considering that this game can have quite the high skill ceiling, it's great that you can get a feel for the game via its Practice Mode where you battle against bots. Once you're ready, you can dive into some epic shootouts in the 3-vs-3 Quick Play mode. The game also offers a single-player 20-level gauntlet, which again is remisniscent of Unreal Tournament.
Taunting your opponents (and getting taunted in return) is part and parcel of PWND so this game isn't exactly the sort that "snowflakes" play. Instead, you should take those taunts in stride and better your game just so you can have fun getting sweet revenge! Needless to say, the game does provide quite a number of funny and outrageous taunts that you can play around with.
All in all, PWND is a really amazing free-to-play title that fans of Quake and Unreal Tournament would enjoy. It has a pretty fair microtransaction system, and if it can get a healthy player base to keep going, you may get to enjoy more maps, game modes, and characters in the future as well.
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament by Epic Games is not the 1999, old-school version by the way - it is a brand-new, work-in-progress version that can support up to 4k resolution. This newer version of Unreal Tournament also added several new dodge styles to the frantic jumping and sprinting gameplay that all Unreal games are famous for. However, despite its brilliant new graphics and gameplay tweaks, the game retains the core of what made Unreal Tournament incredibly popular back in the day - all its intense fragging, maze-like maps, power-ups and most importantly, a community of friendly yet competitive players to play the game with.Although Unreal Tournament has been under development for quite some time now (since 2014), it's interesting to note that Epic Games lets players enjoy the game as it is being developed and they really take fans' feedback and suggestions into consideration. So, despite technically being an unfinished game, Unreal Tournament is already operational... meaning you can now play it... and best yet, it's free-to-play.
So, if you longed for a modernized and improved version of Unreal Tournament, this is the game to play.
