Highguard Review

Highguard, created by former Apex Legends and Titanfall developers at new studio Wildlight Entertainment, came out of nowhere. The game was made the “one last thing” announcement at The Game Awards 2025, showing off an action-packed twist on the hero shooter genre that honestly raised more questions than it provided answers. As a fan of the genre, I was intrigued and excited to play Highguard myself, especially when it was revealed that the game would be releasing in a matter of weeks. Unfortunately, putting Highguard in that spot at The Game Awards did far more harm than good, with many outright dismissing the game before they even had the chance to play it.
