As someone who has predominantly enjoyed single-player games, diving into the fast-paced world of "Shatterline," a dynamic multiplayer FPS now free on Epic Games, was nothing short of a challenge. But it was a challenge I was ready to meet, especially with the aid of my ultrawide monitor, which not only enhanced the game's stunning graphics but also expanded my field of view, making it easier to grasp the frenetic action around me.

Gameplay Video:

"Shatterline" is set in a near future where Earth is under threat from an alien entity known as the Crystalline. This colossal interstellar super-organism devours planets and transforms living species into extensions of itself. Players join forces as part of Shellguard, an elite group immune to the Crystalline's influence, tasked with halting its terrifying expansion.

First Impressions in PvE

Joining the PvE mode, I teamed up with random players, likely more seasoned in multiplayer arenas than myself. Despite feeling a bit outpaced at times, the experience was exhilarating. "Shatterline" offers a growth path similar to other games, with leveling up, perks, and skill enhancements that promise a rich journey. I was slow, perhaps, but every mission added to my learning curve.

Finding Comfort in the Campaign

Transitioning to the campaign mode, I felt a wave of relief. Here was a mode that felt familiar and right at home. To my surprise, the campaign was robust, something I hadn't expected but thoroughly enjoyed. What was meant to be a quick session extended into hours of gameplay, illustrating just how compelling and addictive "Shatterline" could be. One mission led to another, and time slipped away.
