Splitgate Reviews
Check out Splitgate Review Scores from trusted Critics below.
Splitgate, a free-to-play Halo-meets-Portal arena shooter, reminds me of the good old days of first-person shooter games. It’s a fun, tactical experience with a high skill ceiling.
It doesn’t matter if the game is not going to win awards for originality though because the massive player numbers and hype prove this formula is resonating with players. And it’s no accident: the core gameplay is a mixture of highly polished elements taken from some of the best arena shooters ever, imitated nigh-perfectly, and mixed in a never seen before way. As our own Jordan Campbell notes, this shooter entered the market at a complicated moment, with a mainline Halo and a much-hyped Battlefield are about to hit, and yet it managed to find its audience and strengths to shine. The excellent portal system, combined with one of the tightest FPS modules in recent years, makes me believe I’ll be playing this a lot as I wait for Halo Infinite to drop. And, frankly? I’m not even that certain 343’s much-awaited title will have Splitgate beaten in all aspects. It is simply that good.
A raucous shooter that goes beyond its portal gimmick, with first-rate arenas and gutsy gunfights.
