    World of Tanks: HEAT from developer Wargaming Group Limited is a good F2P game that offers fun modes, good customization, and a short stint of good MP matches. While the vanilla version of this game isn’t quite packed with a huge variety of modes, it still is a good way to have some dumb fun.

    World of Tanks: HEAT successfully reimagines Wargaming’s classic tank warfare as a faster, more accessible tactical vehicle shooter. Its Agents, abilities and objective-based modes give the formula a welcome hero-shooter edge, although its long-term appeal will depend on balance, progression and post-launch support.

    World of Tanks: HEAT is a bold reinvention of a franchise that many players probably didn't expect to see move in this direction. Turning World of Tanks into a hero shooter could have easily felt forced, but Wargaming has managed to create something that feels surprisingly natural once you're actually in a match.
