GamingTrendCassie PetersonAug 202485/100XDefiant is a solid first-person shooter featuring familiar gameplay elements as other games in the genre but with a twist, including the different factions and their unique abilities. The factions help to keep the gameplay fresh from match to match, and they're all fairly balanced in their ability, though not necessarily their application. Unfortunately, the game still suffers with weapon balancing and hit registration, as well as missing a some accessibility and quality of life options.

VGCJordan MiddlerMay 20244/5 starsXDefiant is a confident shooter that's far more than a Call of Duty knockoff. The Tom Clancyverse crossovers are somewhat cringey, but if Ubisoft doubles down on the great gameplay, and the weird faction warfare, we'll keep coming back for months to come.

GuardianKeith StuartMay 20244/5 starsYou may feel a touch of deja vu as you mow down rivals with your M16 – but although it's unoriginal, this free six-person shooter is slick and enjoyable.

Pixel ByteZach BarbieriMay 20242/10Housed somewhere deep, down, inside the framework of XDefiant is the kernel of an interesting idea. Merge all our shooters. Could work. Doesn’t sound like an awful pitch. In practice though, it is a lesson in financial greed done wrong. XDefiant barely, if at all, wants to be an actual game. It’s yet another vehicle in a growing laundry list of them where it feels like the right way to play the game is to insert your credit card.
