My Example

Name:
Frontline: Resistance
Developers: Red Eagle Studios
Publishers: Chesnokov Entertainment
Rating: Mature 17+
Device Availability: PC

Gameplay Genre: First-person-shooter
Setting Genre: Modern (2027)
Plot Summary:
"In Frontline: Resistance, you lead the underground resistance cells across Northern Craviter in a guerrilla war against the Greater Norsian Empire. From Highton and Arcanstotska to Kanada and Prydania, ignite the fires of revolution and burn Empress Elli's armies to the ground. You are the revolution."
-- Lead Game Producer Aleksei Kirilov in an interview

Gameplay Modes:
  • Campaign​
    • 23 action-packed levels​
  • Multiplayer
    • Team Deathmatch - two teams of players battle each other across the map; the team with the most kills upon the time running out wins
    • Deathmatch - everyone versus everyone; the player with the most kills upon the time running out wins
    • Capture the Flag - two teams bring the enemy team's flag back to their spawn point to get a capture point; the first team to the set amount of capture points wins
    • Siege - one team defends an objective within the map and must establish a plan of defense, while the other team must secure or destroy the objective; this mode emphasizes teamwork and strategic thinking
    • War - two massive teams of 50 players clash for control of objectives across a large map
  • Zombies
    • A secret Norsian biological weapons program has weaponized the rabies virus - and made it far, far worse. Now the virus has breached containment and spread across Craviter. Grab your friends, organize your defenses, and survive against hordes upon hordes of the infected!
Public Opinion: Very positive - the multiplayer siege mode and the zombies mode have become widely popular, while the campaign has become known for its memorable characters and action-packed combat. Though there is some frustration among players regarding the overpowered nature of a few weapons in the multiplayer mode, the developers have worked to fix the weapons balancing issues. Additionally, there have been calls for the developers to add more gamemodes to multiplayer.

Name: ContraIctus.
Developers: Fistula.
Publishers: Fistula.
Rating: M +17
Device Availability: PC

Gameplay Genre: First Person Shooter
Setting Genre: Modern Day Eras
Plot Summary: You and Four other people team up to stop a bomb being planted, or plant the bomb. In this action packed FPS you will be transported to a number of real world locations with realistic gun animations and bullet spreads.

Gameplay Modes: Multiplayer objective based.
Public Opinion:
Players have a mixed response to the game, while loving the gameplay the community has a number of quirks that are called toxic. The ability to chat with the other team via text messages and the uncensored nature of the chat has created an environment where people say what they want behind the screen with limited repercussions. Players have started to combat this in recent years but the change has been slow. The gameplay loop is seen as unique to map and tactics implemented by each team.
 
Name: State Builder
Developers: Marc Antony Inc.
Publishers: Accendere ignem (A.i)
Rating: T
Device Availability: PC

Gameplay Genre: 4X Turn based Strategy game
Setting Genre: The game is set on a generated map of a World like Eras where players will build their own civilization from the Stone Age to the Modern day.
Plot Summary: Sandbox.

Gameplay Modes: Play with the AI or against friends as you compete to see who can create the most powerful Civilization.
Public Opinion: The Fifth installment of the game is seen as the best, while the later iterations do a good job at advancing the genre the nostalgia for the fifth edition creates hostility in long time players. Generally the games are loved after a few years of work are put in by the Devs.
 
Name: Fire For Effect
Developers: Ion Studios
Publishers: Ion Studios
Rating: M +17
Device Availability: PC & Consoles (Crossplay Available)

Gameplay Genre: Vehicular Combat MMO-PVP with PVE modes
Setting Genre: Battlefields across Eras on land, air, and sea ranging from the dawn of modern warfare to the near future, including vehicles across the world ranging from a century old to those that have yet to enter service.

Gameplay Modes: Multiplayer consists of dynamic large-scale matches on large battlefields with mixed objectives, including positions to hold, targets to capture, and targets to destroy in combined arms warfare. Small-scale domain (air/land/sea) specific modes are also available, with smaller, less valuable objectives and a larger focus on individual engagements.

PvE modes consists of wave-based defense and cooperative, dynamic missions on an ever-changing battlefield. Work alongside other squads to achieve larger objectives and coordinate a combined arms offensive.

Public Opinion: Mixed, though broadly positive. Though it has been well received and maintains a large, active player base and marketing across many platforms, it’s infamous for its users leaking classified military information in an effort to correct inaccuracies or request in-game changes. Players have voiced concerns about premium vehicles and battle rating issues, among other things, such as the supposed “Andrennian Bias” given Ion Studios operates out of Andrenne.
