Splitgate 2 reviewed by Jarrett Inexperienced on PlayStation 5. Additionally out there on Xbox Sequence X/S and PC.
Splitgate 2 is a reliable successor to the unique that expands on it, however by no means actually surpasses it. There nonetheless are few shooters you may play proper now that really feel pretty much as good as this one does to leap, float, and slide round in, and the brand new class system provides a tactical layer that type of sacrifices the unique’s philosophy of simplicity for the sake of mechanical depth. Weapons are good if largely uninspired (exterior of the small handful of bangers it’s a must to struggle over in matches). However the map choice is a particular step backwards, each aesthetically and in the way in which they appear to discourage common use of the shooter’s signature portals. Despite the fact that it packs in a number of modes and content material in a good free-to-play recreation, the trouble to convey Splitgate 2 extra in keeping with different well-liked shooters has taken it a step too far-off from what made the unique a cult hit.
