    Wildgate’s 4-player mayhem makes for a wild ride, but it currently feels like a proof of concept for something really great.

    Wildgate is a tough game to pin down—it’s a fully-fledged multiplayer experience with deep, interconnected systems and distinct roles that offer something truly unique. However, its steep learning curve, poor matchmaking, and shallow PvE elements make it hard to recommend unless you're ready to fully commit. The odds of walking away satisfied feel about as slim as escaping with the Artifact.

    Wildgate offers a chaotic, often brutal, but undeniably memorable journey to those who dare going beyond its first few hours. Each mission becomes an unpredictable story, each confrontation a test of composure and coordination. While its technical flaws and limited accessibility sometimes hinder immersion, the game makes up for it with a unique atmosphere, varied gameplay and constant unease. More than just a cooperative shooter, Wildgate functions as a shared adventure, where improvisation, anticipation and mutual aid forge the best memories, much like another well-known pirate game: Sea of Thieves.
