    It's not the newest, greatest thing, nor is it flawless, but it does have easy to pick up gameplay, replayability and creative potential, three aspects that I've grown to expect from pretty much any multiplayer game.

    A f2p game version of a hybrid of Halo and Portal with amazing gameplay? I'll take it, thank you, sir.

    This is the most fun I've had with a multiplayer game in years. It controls smooth as butter, and they keep adding new content. I can't wait to see what's in store because I really love it right now.

    Since I came across Splitgate, I pretty much played nothing else.
    The portal mechanic brings SO much more depht to the already great fps experience.
    Once you start thinking with Portals, you never go back

    Splitgate has something special and unique on it.
    First point ofc, are the portals which make this game so ♥♥♥♥ crazy and good. Its hard to master, but once you get an idea of how to use the portals, you gain so many ways to move around and also to Kill your enemys.

    The Visuals are great too, since its build with UE4, some maps might not look that cool, but the devs are constantly improving their game, so the game will look much better in the future for sure!! Ofc there might be some bugs sometimes, but this will also get fixed over time.. I mean cmn you cant complain about bugs, every game has them and a good DEV Team will work on it to fix it! And Splitgate has NICE devs TURST ME.
    The sadly part of the game is the playersbase which is rly small yet, but this is also a positive thing.
    The small players base is the reason why the community is acting like a small family. You can always find some nice person to play with, just join the Discord Family.
    Me as someone who was always addicted to FPS games, feels so much in love with this game.
    Fragging people feels so statisfying, even if I DO MISS THE OLD PISTOL FROM SEASON 1, but I got used to the Carbine now and I am fine with it.

    If you love FPS games like me and you are searching for a new Experience in this sector, you should give Splitgate a try, I mean its FREE so there is no reason to not check it out if you are interested. Stop Thinking, start downloading!

    The portaling might frustrate you at first, but after few hrs of playing you should get into it! Dont give up after the first day!!!

    See you in the Arena :-)    … Expand

    It's pretty shocking that no other major developers are doing movement shooters this well these days. Titanfall was a beacon of hope for awhile, but even that employed some of the trappings of the more dominant 'reflex shooter' that seems to have unfortunately plagued the FPS genre for a decade-and-a-half, thanks to COD.

Titanfall was a beacon of hope for awhile, but even that employed some of the trappings of the more dominant 'reflex shooter' that seems to have unfortunately plagued the FPS genre for a decade-and-a-half, thanks to COD.

    Splitgate brings classic Halo stylings and mechanics back in droves, refreshed by a clever and simple-to-use portal gun that adds a whole other level of awareness and strategy to the game. What Splitgate lacks in originality and variety (pretty much every game mode and weapon is a direct analog to Halo 2-3's catalog, but some of them less fun/useful), it makes up for with addicting, high-octane gameplay and satisfying kills. It's a shooter that forces you to think on your feet and get creative with your movement and map control.

    It's got plenty of areas to improve and expand its repertoire, and given that it's taking the free-to-play, battle pass/challenge-based service approach to its delivery, I'm sure it will.    … Expand

    Exceptional game. The control feels streamlined and intuitive. I am rarely if ever confused about what to do. The shooting action is fast-paced enough and the portal mechanic offers quite a lot of tactics that can't be used in other available FPS games. If you like fast-paced sci-fi FPS with good movements, you should definitely try out Splitgate.

    I find Splitgate a real fun game! There could be more things even though it is still Beta in Season 0. New equipment should come in and I hope more maps can come and make a lot of the maps more open for Team Deathmatch and Free for all and more. I play on Playstation 4! It's fun playing with both PC and Xbox.

    As a player of halo, quake and ut, I can sincerely say that the game is really fun. First of all, the graphics are good but could be improved.

Good physics and ragdolls but too little gore. Gameplay is really good but for a longer life for this game it should include more maps and more guns. I would like to have more maps with a taste off UT like outside in space. I really think this game can go for Esports some day. Even though it is said to be out from beta now I still seem to find too many glitches for it to be out of beta. And even worse for the players that pays for the battle pass to support the game, to find out not all what is promised is given. Alot of the Battlepass rewards are not given, like coins which is crucial for the players to go on to the next season. This needs to be fixed before the next season! There is so much more I could say about this game but I will shorten it with this. Good game, free to play so why not try it out? With your friends or alone. But it could definitely be improved.

    I love a good multiplayer FPS. I usually have a main MP on the side which I play regularly either alone or with mates in-between questing in RPGS or other single player genres. But, sadly over the past year, there has not been many great frag fests to sink my teeth into.
    Battlefield 5 is stale and Call of Duty Cold War is a broken mess. The free to play market is dominated/saturated by Battle Royale’s. Warzone is plagued with cheaters; Apex is old news and Fortnite… Well I’m 40 years old so, Fortnite is not really my thing.
    Friday nights playing online with the boys got more infrequent as we got tired of dying to cheaters in Warzone. I stopped playing Cold War because I was fed up with the high ping lobbies, aim resist and lag. Multiplayer was fading out of my gaming life until, SPLITGATE came along.
    I had seen a few YouTubers playing SPLITGATE, they all seemed to have good things to say about it. I decided, since it is free-to-play, I would give it a try.
    I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the game is on SERIES X. It runs buttery smooth on very stable servers. There’s a big player-base on XBOX, even bigger with the cross-play feature. Games are very quick to find, and due to no annoying skill based match making, games are found based on ping. Ping is king!
    Instantly there is a massive difference in quality compared to Cold War, which is shocking, considering Cold War is a full priced game. I have to play Cold War in 120fps just to make it feel mildly smooth online. I’m running SPLITGATE at 60FPS and it feels like it has a much higher framerate than Cold War at 120fps. The controls are responsive, movement is fluid and there is no lag. Finally I can play a game that rewards skill, no more shoot-first-die-first. Hit detection is spot on, and the game is well balanced.
    SPLITGATE is a classic multiplayer FPS. It is basically Halo, everything from the weapons to the blue vs red team is “inspired” by Halo. But SPLITGATE is not a cheap rip off, it has a key selling point that makes it different to Halo. The use of Portals. SPLITGATE merges the fun classic action of Halo with the strategic use of Portals taken from the game PORTAL. It works well and adds an extra layer of skill. You can, of course, play without using your Portal. But, if you want to become a good player, you will need to start learning how to effectively use Portals early on.
    The graphics (while not the best you will ever see) suit the game well. They are bright, bold, and colourful. Enemies are easy to spot, and if you do come across a camper, the well designed mini map will soon help you to hunt them down. The majority of maps are well designed, some are slightly messy but there’s no terrible maps.
    SPLITGATE is a free game, so obviously there are microtransactions however, there are no pay to win mechanics. Hopefully it will stay this way. If it does then I’ll be happy to keep playing and supporting the game.
    If you are looking to break away from the more mainstream multiplayers and want something a little different, or want to satisfy your thirst for Halo until Infinite comes out, then SPLITGATE may just be the game for you.    … Expand

    Splitgate is a fast, fun, SMART shooter. I played the game and loved the snappy gameplay, but the way the portals make you think so hard is what made me really fall in love with it. Being able to take 1v2 fights and come out on top because you were able to be in more than one place at once and dodge their shots is one of the best feelings I have ever experienced in a game.

    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.
