Shooters have crawled their way back out of the depths since 2016 and are just getting better and better. With more sophisticated stories, groundbreaking visuals and tech, and fantastic multiplayer, 2019 was another notch in the shooter genre.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty is the laughing stock of the shooter genre and the gaming industry as a whole. It’s amazing to see what one of the most criticized franchises crawl its way back up to the top spot. All it took was inward thinking and back to basics mentality. Modern Warfare has never been a better example of K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid.
