Скачать или смотреть Is Highguard Too Ambitious for its Own Good? | Full Review

Highguard, the debut title from Wildlight Entertainment (comprised of Apex Legends and Titanfall veterans), has arrived with a lot of noise—and a lot of skepticism. Following its polarizing reveal at The Game Awards 2025, we’ve spent significant time with the full 3v3 "Raid Shooter" experience. Does it live up to the pedigree of its developers, or is it a "Jack of all trades, master of none"? In this review, we break down the four-stage match flow, from base fortification and looting to the climactic Shieldbreaker sieges that can turn a match into a 45-minute tactical tug-of-war.

While the "schmoovement" and gunplay feel as snappy as you’d expect from the creators of Titanfall, Highguard struggles with an identity crisis. We discuss the "downtime" problem—where massive maps and a small player count lead to tedious looting phases—and why the raid mechanics often lack the "gravitas" their presentation suggests. We also look at the Warden hero system and the "item rarity" progression that feels more like an intermission than a reward. Is Highguard a diamond in the rough that just needs a few "Episode" updates to shine, or is the 3v3 format a fundamental mismatch for its grand ambitions? Watch our full review to find out if you should give this free-to-play experiment a shot!
