Just started playing Splitgate 2! Didn’t really pay too much attention when it got announced, but I saw it was live last night and gave it a try.
As a long time Halo/Arena Shooter fan, this game really scratches a certain itch. The gameplay is crisp, the art direction is fun, and I had a blast. Now I just need to get better at using my portals in game…
Something that stood out to me is that the install (at least on Xbox) was only 17gb! After so many gigantic games, it’s nice to have one with a manageable file size.
It’s amazing how much they just copy, copy, copy. Even just some effort to spice it up and add some unique ideas could help.
XDefiant had some decent bones. Not going to claim I loved it by any means, but I had a fun time playing it for a bit when it launched. Then it just did nothing to freshen up the experience so I fell off fast.
Though I’ve got my eye on Splitgate 2 now, I have a good feeling about that one!
