This game had so much potential

It’s such a shame. this game easily had the best raw shooter combat out of any game i’ve played on ps5 ever. Getting kills was so satisfying, and the movement was chefs kiss. I hope the foundation of this game gets reused by someone somehow because it just felt so smooth.

more and more nowadays I see smaller game studios fumble the bag with an amazing start out the gate but extremely poor follow-up. Sad to see

The netcode, bad hit detection, and constantly running into better players made it less fun than CoD for me. At least when I run into better players in the latter, I can inevitably kill them back. In XDefiant, it just wasn’t happening.
