Highguard Review

Highguard reviewed by Travis Northup on PC and Xbox, also available on PlayStation.

Highguard’s compelling gunplay, impressive pace of updates, and killer Raid mode have made its exciting attack-and-defend encounters quite memorable, even if the version we have right now feels a bit like a rough draft. The unique competitive matches definitely have room for improvement, with maps that can feel a little empty and rounds that are somewhat uneven between their slow looting lows and chaotic raiding highs. Plus, with just nine characters, a handful of maps and bases, and only one game mode served up in a few different flavors, there’s not a lot of meat on this bone just yet. But what is here at the moment is still a lot of fun on its own, and I can already feel the makings of something that could be pretty stellar if it’s able to survive long enough to fully realize that potential.
