Jun 24, 20236/10 for me. It is free though. So instead of a free battle royal, this is a free multiplayer. You have a black ops 4 feel with no kill streaks. I think the game is limited at 6/10 until the gun impact feel improves, reload while aiming gets added, kills treats, and more get added as well. It is in beta, but has a long way to go. Currently feels like going back 5-6 years in multiplayer.

Aug 30, 2024XDefiant offers a fast-paced, arcade-style shooter experience that’s heavy on customization but leans towards grind-heavy progression and microtransactions. While the game’s diverse factions and loadouts provide variety, its reliance on grinding or spending cash might not appeal to everyone. It’s an entertaining shooter with plenty of potential, but the balance between fun and monetization could be a sticking point for some players.

May 31, 2024Ubisoft’s attempt to blend two disparate genres together backfires, creating massive balancing issues and diluting both experiences. Its lack of polish on the server side leads to outright aggravating and uneven experiences. Finally, while XDefiant is free-to-play, the fact that there’s little earn and outright unlock leaves little incentive to stick with the game beyond a couple of matches occasionally. XDefiant provides that solid, fun FPS action in small doses, but is sorely held back by a lack of focus, polish and earnable content.

May 28, 2024It’s hard to deny that the minute-to-minute gameplay is just a whole lot of fun. The varied mechanics of each class, and the deep bench of weapon customisation, will offer something to keep the wheel spinning. If nothing else, that the game is free helps clear the hurdle of getting your mates to drop in – especially in the face of Call of Duty’s premium price tag – even if only for a month or two.
