In LawBreakers, Boss Key Studio’s new shooter, an event which is known as “the Shattering” broke bits of Earth’s gravity, creating pockets of Zero-G space. These pockets litter the battlefield, forcing you to use them to your advantage. In the Zero-G areas, you soar through the air, navigating it with jump-jets, grappling hooks, or even just by blind-firing over your shoulder. And you’ll need to master those techniques to succeed, as your battle will take you through many of these zones.
LawBreakers is also a class based game, though some classes are much better than others. I had the most fun playing as the assassins, who use swords, shotguns, and grappling hooks to maneuver the battlefield. Not only is that a boatload of fun, making this probably the best Attack on Titan game yet, but it also gives a huge advantage over the slower characters, particularly the Titans. Despite having the most health, the tank-like Titans are just too slow to be too much of a threat, and combining that with lackluster movement abilities and an inaccurate main weapon leaves a lot to be desired.
If you’re a fan of recent class-based shooters like Battleborn and Overwatch, I’d recommend staying on the lookout for LawBreakers. It’s fast, fun, and the Zero-G airborne battles are a great addition you don’t see in a lot of games. It’s available exclusively on PC and set to come out later this year.
