    This is one of the most inventive, exciting multiplayer games in years — a proper remedy for all the copycat hero shooters we’ve had to contend with. It might look like one of those at a glance, but Wildgate is something else, an experience we haven’t had before. Get three mates, choose a ship, and head out into the rift for the most fun you can have online right now. If Wildgate's post-launch plans come to fruition, it's only going to get better.

    If you’re after a multiplayer game where every match is a fresh gamble, where victory hinges on both brains and firepower, and where the thrill of space piracy pulses in every moment, Wildgate is worth your time.

    Wildgate is a space-age ship-fighting FPS that captures the beauty and danger of space quite well. The game's complexity lends itself nicely to making combat as interesting as possible. Although the beginning of each game might be a bit slow, it sets itself up for some truly amazing ship-to-ship combat later on in the game. Even with all the creativity built into this game, there are still several problems that will hopefully be fixed later on. Progression is a bit slow, and the game doesn't offer new players much help in the way of understanding. That all being said, Wildgate is a game that is truly unique in a time when many games would prefer to play it safe.

    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.
