It’s a real shame to see Splitgate 2 kind of fall by the wayside. I was really excited about it when it came out in May – the developers seemed so confident they had something special. They were clearly aiming for that classic arena shooter feel, like the Halo and Titanfall games I grew up with, which I loved. But honestly, it felt a bit confused. They tried to chase current trends, like adding battle royale stuff and using modern monetization, and it just didn’t quite click for me. It felt like it couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a nostalgic throwback or a modern shooter.
