May 28, 2024XDefiant is a confident shooter that's far more than a Call of Duty knockoff. The Tom Clancyverse crossovers are somewhat cringey, but if Ubisoft doubles down on the great gameplay, and the weird faction warfare, we'll keep coming back for months to come.
-
May 28, 2024XDefiant is an online shooter with balance problems but still fun, solid in some aspects, and (far too) generic in others.
-
May 28, 2024Compared to other FPS games, XDefiant offers limited initial content and significant balance issues, and even its most distinctive skill designs aren't particularly innovative. As a result, after a few hours of exploring different factions, game modes and maps, players may find it hard to stay motivated to grind for characters and weapons once the novelty wears off, leaving only a sense of endless fatigue.
-
May 24, 2024The fundamentals of XDefiant are good, but conflicting ideas and mechanics stop it from standing above a crowded shooter field.
-
May 30, 2024If you are still wondering, the answer is no: XDefiant is not the COD killer that many expected. The new free to play from Ubisoft is a good shooter, which certainly has the ability to entertain for a few hours, but which will hardly be able to establish itself on the market due to some problems related to balance and progression. The current version of the game represents only a fair starting point, which will require constant commitment from the developers to improve on all fronts. In any case, this is not an impossible situation, given the precedents of the French software house.
-
Jun 5, 2024XDefiant throws out its own advantages in favor of the shooting mechanisms from Call of Duty and the class system from the same series, which results in an unbalanced mess.
-
May 27, 2024XDefiant is Ubisoft's failed attempt to fit into every genre. We have an outdated graphics engine and a cast of characters who add absolutely nothing to the game. The only positive aspect is that we can play multiple games before uninstalling it.
