Early Access Review

Super fun game with great core gameplay and progression
No P2W aspects, only grind for attachments and guns (Starter Guns are Very competant and Meta)
Various traditional PVP gamemodes like TDM, Paylod, Hardpoint (playtest had FFA DM)
PVP aspects of the game are a combination of Fast TTK gunplay, with Hero shooter abilities and classes.

I like that every weapon and weapon class has its strengths and appropriate use cases in the game.
Shotguns will beat everything under 10m range
SMG will beat AR under ~20m range
AR is versatile and can be used at all ranges but loses out to SMG/Shotgun up close, and gets outclassed by Snipers long range
Snipers are long range (currently a bit overtuned in the Escort gamemode due to massive long shooting alleys and head angles)
Perks and Attachments can tune each gun to your playstyle, but for the most part guns will remain locked in their use cases so you wont be seeing long range SMG outclassing AR all that often.

Rotating Gamemodes are very refreshing and creative (based on the teaser video for MegaHeads)

PVE aspects of the game are incredibly fun, chill, and quite relaxing (until the final boss)
Running expeditions with 2 of your friends for a total party size of 3, and hoping to get lucky with perks to make yourself overpowered and just mindlessly killing "zombies"
There is a pretty large variety of mobs and bosses considering the game's early state

I was expecting to play maybe 2-3 hours at the start, ended up playing almost the entire game in one sitting. (19 hours) finished the game the next day with another 5 hours.

TLDR: EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME IS REALLY GOOD, the only downside was that I couldn't play using a controller but KBM was an okay way to play it.

Really good animations and characters
The expressions on each character's face really impressed me and made it feel very lifelike to resonate with
The whole game is voiced and done really well too! Played it out and felt like i watched a movie/anime.

Story had a very good and interesting premise. If you are an individual that likes to solve mysteries you can usually come to your own theories before the game explains things to you. The game has incredible foreshadowing that will direct your thoughts.
This is good for both people who do wanna solve on their own or the players that just wanna play for the story and have things handed to them.

The tone of the game was very "fun" and was well balanced between emotional and serious matters, but also injecting lighthearted comedic moments sporadically.

MASTERPIECE CAMPAIGN, RIP MULTIPLAYER THO UNLESS THIRDPARTY CLIENT

Campaign is so great, pushes and showcases all the mechanics of the game so well.
Gives you the tools, but doesnt hold your hands through the levels. Player is free to use their own way to go through the levels with their individual understanding of the mechanics.

All games need to try and push this method of giving the player agency and trusting the player to solve their own problems. LESS HAND HOLDING PLEASE

great addicting strategy game
So Simple, but so difficult to win,

Lots of RNG, but there are def great ways to optimize for adapt to the RNG u get

In SplitGate shooting matters. You don't kill with abilities. Abilities create tactical opportunities to take the right shot. Players have the ability to create portals that augment their movement and gunplay, instead of fighting directly with grenades and abilities.

Movement, Momentum, Precise Gunplay...

Accurate hitscan shooting while moving

Fun game
Good Strategic Elements with different abilities
Good Gun Play
Good Movement Mechanics

Too bad 3 Man Squad Limit

play with someone you hate working together with, you'll enjoy the "bonding" experience

great potential.
Played aeria games version, and really enjoyed the game at it's core.
just gotta work on some balance, and netcode issues...

Non Pay to Win
Decently skill based (aside from the 0 recoil SMG that shoots from long range)
