mecha break

Mecha BREAK is the most distinctive thing in the honorable mentions and the one I would watch most closely. Mech-action PvP with a visual style that immediately separates it from every shooter in the top ten. Team-based, fast, and built around movement and ability combos in ways that reward players who enjoy learning a kit rather than just aiming better. It sits here rather than in the main list because it is newer and population data is less established than the games above it. If the servers hold and the updates keep coming, this could move up significantly. Worth downloading now if the mech format sounds appealing.
