Where you can play it: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Xbox 360, PS3, iOS and Android. What it is: A puzzle-centric adventure game focused on the memories and experiences of four characters embroiled up in the Great War. At the very least, play Hell’s Highway to understand why people are still clamoring for a Brothers in Arms sequel. Hell’s Highway deals with the subjects of brotherhood, PTSD, and leadership, but the gunplay itself isn’t left lacking either, complemented by fine-tuned squad command mechanics that still hold up today. While Bad Company was a strong debut that paved the way for an even better sequel, it’s Hell's Highway that still stands out as a memorable high-point for the Brothers in Arms series, with the dramatic poetry underscoring the campaign juxtaposed effectively against the fierceness of both the visuals and gameplay. What it is: The seventh instalment in the WW2-based first-person shooter series from Gearbox.Ģ008 was clearly the watershed year for squad-based combat, with both Battlefield: Bad Company and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway releasing within a few months of each other, to much the adulation of their respective fans.
