1. Escape From Tarkov (PC)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1NwUXjUozs
Escape From Tarkov Gameplay
Your goal is to make your way through the city of Tarkov, as bloodthirsty locals and rival mercenaries try to take you out of the picture. Polish your marksmanship skills, gather all equipment and supplies you can find and get ready for a hardcore first-person action experience.
What Makes Escape From Tarkov Fun
- Realistic Gunplay: Escape From Tarkov gives you no quarter, as you will have to get used to things like jamming and overheating. Not to mention real-life projectile physics and ballistics.
- Managing Your Precious Health: Surviving might reveal itself to be harder than it seems in this game. Wearing ballistic vests and helmets can only do so much protecting your ass in a fire fight. You will have to monitor and manage your health bar and energy to avoid unsavory experiences like dehydration, tremors and even broken bones. Even when a bullet wound doesn’t kill you right away, blood loss might.
- Gathering Supplies: As you move through Tarkov you will need to keep your eyes peeled for much needed loot: food, equipment, weapons, medicine or even electronics and other mundane items. The possibilities are many, and you will need all you can get for both survival as well as challenges given to you by Tarkov’s many specialized vendors.
- Trading and Selling Goods: Nothing has to go to waste. Sell whatever loot you don’t need in auctions, or maybe trade it for something more valuable to you; such is life as a mercenary soldier.
Enjoy the View: Scout your location for a good vantage point, take out your sniper rifle and look for your next unsuspecting victim
Attention to Detail: Making out your enemies through various obstacles will give you the upper hand, but try to ensure no one is doing the exact same thing to you

A Nice Day For Camping: It may be tempting to find a good spot and stay there for the entirety of a match, but remember; the ever-shrinking maps of PUBG will force you to change positions and find a new spot
Want To Set The World On Fire: Performing a hit from afar usually means remaining unnoticed, but there’s still room for troublemakers with a scope in these battlegrounds
