3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2Call of Duty Modern Warfare II review

Seen by many fans of the Call of Duty franchise as somewhat of a resurgence, this game is great. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had quite the legacy to live up to. For example, the game itself is not only the sequel to the highly successful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), but it shares a name with another classic Call of Duty game. This made it so that players were expecting the moon when the game was released. The game itself smashed sales records and player records for the franchise and is still holding up to this day.

With a sleek map design, coupled with its free-to-play component Warzone 2.0, this game has quite a sense of longevity ahead of it. However, the core of what makes this game so fantastic for players, new and old, is its strong multiplayer component. The gameplay for the game is tight and smooth, with beautiful animations and sound design. This has led to the weapons in the game feeling more punchy and an overall better experience. So if you are looking for a multiplayer FPS to get into that is one of the most popular multiplayer games as of April 2023, this is a great choice.

Whether this be due to its beautiful and approachable aesthetic, or the extremely solid gameplay throughout the years, this game remains relevant. The game's latest iteration was seen by some as somewhat of a resurgence for the game. World of Warcraft: Dragonflight achieved an extremely high player count upon release.

As its genre would imply, this game is indeed a massively multiplayer title. With some estimates of player counts reaching millions of players. This is no small feat, especially for a game that has been around for so long. Dragonflight, as an expansion, allows players to learn more about the Dracthyr, a race of dragons within the world of Azeroth. This, coupled with the updated and improved mount and flight mechanics, has made this expansion a resounding success. So if you are looking for a multiplayer game to play in April 2023, try Dragonflight.
