There is still work to do before a final release, but Paragon is now on track to hopefully break into the MOBA scene as a real contender. With a total of 25 days of play time now logged on my account, I know this game has gripped me more than most released this year. I know Epic are getting the formula right because Tim, who is a Dota 2 player, has managed to pick it up and slip right into the action. Prior to the recent Monolith update it was still a little too non-MOBA, but after Epic’s revamp the game is now a fast-paced, third-person MOBA with a (currently) small but decent roster of heroes. It looks like some third-person shooter, but it’s smarter than that it is actually a MOBA, demanding all the tactical teamwork that genre implies. After running around in the game dying a lot for about four days the whole MOBA thing started to click. Despite being someone who doesn’t enjoy the traditional MOBAs I thought I would give Paragon a crack, and boy was I surprised. It’s a tough market dominated by Dota 2 and League of Legends, so Paragon would need to do something a little different to break through. When Epic revealed they were working on a MOBA we all groaned. With that in mind I have to add this to my picks this year.


OK, so it’s not officially released as yet, but it has been in open beta and technically it is kind of released because you can buy stuff. Here are my picks for best PC games of 2016. But there have been a few games that have stood out and made me stop doing all those mundane site chores. Sadly I get less time to play games than Peter and Tim as I have to deal with all the boring PC Invasion tech and business stuff.
