Mediocre free-to-play shooter with generic characters and insufficient content.
Our analysis
Unique PvP raid shooter with gorgeous art but overly complex and confusing design.
Our analysis
Interesting 3v3 raid mode but underwhelming presentation and progression. Bland overall package.
Our analysis
Average free-to-play shooter that feels like bland combination of other FPS games. Unremarkable.
Our analysis
Polished hero shooter with excellent gunplay and innovative castle raid mode but limited weapon variety and rough-around-edges 5v5 mode hold it back.

Highguard has an interesting hybrid gameplay concept with fun mounted chase mechanics, but is weighed down by a generic, unflavored package with weak character design, PC performance issues, and boring loot-gathering segments that don't complement the core mode.

WatchOur analysis
Highguard failed catastrophically due to market saturation, poor marketing strategy despite a Game Awards reveal, and fundamental design flaws; its 96% player loss in two weeks serves as a cautionary tale about unsustainable AAA business models and industry lessons about reading the market.
