The Finals Season 5 is the best time since launch to get into Embark Studios' excellent FPS - here's why

The Finals Season 5 is upon us, but if you've missed out on this fast-paced, destructive, and extremely fun FPS until now, you don't need to worry. A new season is an excellent place to jump in, so whether you're brand-new to the world of The Finals or a returning veteran, Season 5 is the only excuse you need to get involved.

For the most part, that's because with this new season, there's more of The Finals to enjoy than ever. Season 5 introduces a new map, new weapons, and new gadgets to keep strategies evolving, but there's been plenty more where those came from over the past 12 months - a whole host of new toys have been added to the arsenal of every one of the Finals' three classes since launch, making battles more chaotic and inventive than ever before.

As a fan of the bulky Heavy class, I've taken advantage of a couple of those myself: the Spear offers me a surprisingly elegant melee alternative to the explosive damage of my grenades and rocket launcher, making it an excellent tool to use in close-quarters against fast-moving Light players. The Lights, however, have their own tools, like the Gateway, which they can use to teleport short distances across the map, moving even faster than normal.

Those gadgets are evidence of the way in which The Finals has improved with every season so far. Even at launch, it was an excellent, innovative twist on the traditional FPS formula, but few games are at their best on their very first day. Embark Studios has been tireless, not just in making sure to gradually balance the game more and more effectively, but also in keeping it fresh and exciting. 

From relatively humble beginnings, new weapons and gadgets have become ever more adventurous. You might reach a Cashout point, only to find your objective floating in the air, or take refuge behind a wall only to find the bricks that make it up suddenly deleted from existence by a resourceful opponent. Embark has been busy taking the destruction at the heart of its game further
