VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “Whether a more cautionary tale about relying on future plans, Hero shooters in today’s market, or suspicious advertising, Highguard nevertheless earns some appreciation. It’s not often a shooter feverishly pastiches so many other personalities and comes out cementing its own. The drawback in Wildlight’s case, though, is how said identity conflicts with player engagement, as though the fervor of exploring minute details distracted from grander structural concerns. But even with those criticisms and a roadmap now left unrealized in mind, what’s left is still a rewarding shooter that knows how to make you say “just one more game… just one more game.””
