The Escapist

Loadout is a free-to-play multiplayer third-person shooter developed by Edge of Reality, originally made for Microsoft Windows then ported to PlayStation 4, Loadout focuses on arcade-style multiplayer firefights across a variety of modes and uses an over-the-top cartoon gore and wealth of character customization options. Players can alter the appearance of their in-game avatar as well as the properties of their weapons at the cost of some premium in-game currency. The development of Loadout has since been abandoned and many main developers have been initially thought to be laid off for unknown reasons, though it has been clarified by the CEO of Edge of Reality, Rob Cohen, that the layoffs was due to the lack of budget for further developments, with the current budget only enough to just maintain the servers.

There are five types of gamemodes: Death Snatch, Blitz, Jackhammer, Annihilation, and Extraction, most of which are based around collecting Blutonium, a fictional element.

Loadout received mixed to positive reviews, currently holding a 72 on Metacritic. IGN gave Loadout a 6.9 but stated in their review: "The matchmaking system is straight-up broken, leading to frequent frustrating mismatches, and its four maps aren't enough to keep me around for long."PC Gamer gave the game a 77 and said in their review "Loadout's gun customization and well executed twists on shooter staples make it a free-to-play game that doesn't feel like a compromise."
