When Highguard was shown off as the closing trailer for The Game Awards Show in December, it invoked an intense, immediate backlash from gamers. The game was finally released this past week to surprising critical praise and continued gamer backlash.
I’ll admit that I wasn’t excited by the initial trailer, if only because I’m a little tired of the team v team shooter aesthetic. Still, Wildlight Entertainment is comprised of former developers who worked on the Titanfall series and Apex Legends, two franchises that I’ve enjoyed.
