Splitgate is all the hype right now – if you can play it. People are queuing like crazy for this Halo meets Portal shooter, and they're doing it for a reason: Splitgate is the best arena shooter in years.
You might've heard that Splitgate started off in its beta phase and was so popular, that the game had to be put on a 'technical-issues' hold. Now, the beta is open again and people are literally queuing for up to 90 minutes just to play this new arena shooter.
Everything You Need to Know About Splitgate
Is Splitgate Worth It?
Yes. If you like Halo, if you like arena shooters and if you liked the mechanics of Portal, then this game is the best thing you've never played. Even if you don't like any of the games I mentioned, Splitgate is worth it simply because it is so much fun.
Essentially, Splitgate has all the action of Halo 2 and puts it into multi-dimensional arena combat. Literally: You have portals that shift you through dimensions within the arena, while you fight against 8 other players. It's old-school, but it's not. It's new, but it feels familiar. It's crazy, but it feels extremely good to play. The pace is insane, but the tactical outplays are even crazier – there is just very little not to like about Splitgate. Except those 90-minute queue times...
