LASER LEAGUE

Developer Roll7 Publisher 505 Games Format PC, PS4, Xbox One

Roll7’s thrillingly tense, precise future sport felt like a modern classic when we reviewed it. Indeed, Laser League probably would have made our top 10 of the year but for the heartbreaking fact that, well, no one’s actually playing it. Its bots are no substitute for human opponents – or, for that matter, teammates – but with an eerie silence reverberating around its servers, they’re forced to fill in. What a shame.
