Splitgate: Arena Warfare Review

A clever twist makes an otherwise-generic shooter stand out.
Splitgate: Arena Warfare’s portal guns turn what would’ve been a forgettable arena shooter into one of the smartest I’ve played in years. Placing portals gives you endless chances to outthink and outmanoeuvre your opponents, which means you can climb the rankings even if you don’t have the best aim. It’s let down by its drab maps that repeat too often in the first hours, and its current lack of players can make it hard to find an evenly matched game if you haven’t brought your own teams. But it’s fun, free, and it proves that portals can work in a competitive shooter. It deserves at least a few hours of your time – which would help with the player population, incidentally.
