You want something that's fun, gratifying, and simple to play, but also has tension, strategy, and stakes. It's quickly dispiriting, if every time you spawn you're instantly shot down by a sniper. At the same time, running, gunning, and racking up kills en masse is an experience of ever-decreasing thrills. Battlefield and Call of Duty occasionally hit this ideal middle spot, but there's one large-scale WW2 FPS that does it better. Mixing all-out warfare with the squad-driven tactics of Company of Heroes, Hell Let Loose is now available to try for free.
