    Splitgate does a pretty good job of taking ideas from existing franchises and combining them but offers very little when it comes to bringing anything new to the table. The maps are a mixed bag and the gunplay is fairly satisfying but doesn't offer the same level of fun or depth that can be found in other shooters.

    If the idea of a Halo and Portal mashup sounds interesting to you then

    If the idea of a Halo and Portal mashup sounds interesting to you then definitely check this game out but it's very likely that you will find yourself wanting more from this free-to-play shooter.

    Portal x Halo like the dude mentioned before m, but I don't like it one bit. It is lifeless and it doesn't have personality. I don't like the portal places and some even throw you out of the map, the movement in air is too slow and feels like I am a feather and not a futuristic soldier wearing 100 kilos of armor and equipment. The main AR is one of the worst starting(main) guns I've everPortal x Halo like the dude mentioned before m, but I don't like it one bit. It is lifeless and it doesn't have personality. I don't like the portal places and some even throw you out of the map, the movement in air is too slow and feels like I am a feather and not a futuristic soldier wearing 100 kilos of armor and equipment. The main AR is one of the worst starting(main) guns I've ever used in a game. The secondary, hand gun, is 10x better. The maps, the announcer and everything needs more life and character. That's why many people liked apex, it was not just because it is an innovative BR game but because it had DIFFERENT CHARACTERS with different appearances and voices. The characters in this game might as well do a T pose because that would make it more exciting for me (at least I would get a laugh out of it). The only reason this is a 5 and not a 1 is because it very rarely lags, the idea is incredible with so much potential and possibilities. Also it works well on an older PC's which makes it more accessible to players who don't have expensive or newer computers. And the most important thing, it is free to play which helps it because if I bought this game for 30 or so dollars I would be disappointed. I hope you guys at 1047 games turn this sinking ship around, the player base is not too happy and the reviews will slowly plummet. People will stop playing the game if they see that nothing is improving. You guys are a new studio and from my perspective it is like you design a new product with a new, young business. You try your best and the group working on the product did their best, but you need to listen to the consumers and the community and try to understand and fix the issues the casual and hardcore players see in the game.
    Sure, the Reddit users love it and the (paid) influencers play it on twitch but the main problem is the lack of originality and the other issues I mentioned before that bother me and a couple of people online.
    Thank you 1047 for taking the risk and creating something interesting and new, the game needs time to flourish and grow on people, but it won't grow on me because I simply don't find the game compelling enough to play it more than 30 **** killing me from a camping spot, I grew tired of that sh*t a long time ago.

    Gameplay is fast and fun. Very unbalanced in terms of weapons. Servers are non existent. No anti cheat so you already know how this is gonna go (actually, it already went - cheaters everywhere).

    Splitgate is a example of a OK game. There is nothing new but in the first hours it is quite cool to play it.

    Very enjoyable shooter, if Halo/Portal got together to have a baby it would be splitgate. Doesnt quite capture the magic of halo but still a very good game.

    This game had the one major flaw that is worse than any bug or any annoying game mechanic, its the fact that it never let you play the game on release because the servers were full. WIthout that major flaw, it would be rated way higher.

    A decently made arena shooter, which is taken by portal elements to a new level. It's definitely enough to be remembered, but it's not enough for the absolute top.

    Splitgate is a competitive free-to-play shooter that takes something from Halo, Portal and others to offer a fun yet pretty generic experience, supported by a large amount of content and a flexible F2P model for those who do not (yet) want to invest money in the game.

    Although there are a variety of game modes, the variety only puts a dent in the flawed game design.
