Highguard launched this week to an onslaught of negative reviews, but is it just poorly timed? FPS games have undergone a vibe shift in the last twelve months that has seen the resurgence of more casual multiplayer experiences like Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders, along with casual modes for The Finals, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Rainbow Six Siege X, and Deep Rock Galactic. What caused this shift, and what can Highguard learn from these games going forward?
