LAST FLAG

Hide and seek has levelled up lethally

- Issy van der Velde

As I send my dual-axe-wielding lumberjack charging full speed at an unsuspecting opponent, windmilling both arms in wild swings that chop away at my helpless target, my victory feels all but certain. Suddenly, I'm teleported up into the sky, nary an enemy in sight, wondering how on Earth I got here.

When I come crashing back down, my ego bruised, I stubbornly get back into the thick of it. But then I get zapped into the air again, and again, and again by my not-so-helpless opponent. Tucking my tail between my legs, I decide this 1v1 isn't for me, and I'd be a better asset to my team looking for the flag.

Last Flag is nostalgic reimagining of hide and seek combined with capture the flag—it featured in the PC Gaming Show Most Wanted, and remains high on our want-to-play list.
