While XDefiant may sound like a hodgepodge of design choices, Ubisoft's new shooter finds the right middle ground between Call of Duty and Overwatch.
When I first installed and started to play XDefiant, I didn’t think I’d like it. It looked like a random mishmash of Ubisoft IP. I didn’t think it would pull off the gameplay mix between hardcore military shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and hero shooters like Overwatch 2 . Thankfully, XDefiant proved me very wrong, and I’ve had a hard time putting the game down since I started playing it ahead of Season 1.
Recommended Videos From a gameplay perspective, XDefiant truly finds the middle ground between Call of Duty and Overwatch. Before a game starts, players choose a faction to play as. Each of these factions is based on a Ubisoft game and has three agents that players can choose and customize with unique skins. While individual characters don’t have unique abilities, the factions do.
While those gameplay elements and modes like Escort feel pulled from Overwatch 2, the game feel is a lot closer to military shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield. Call of Duty alumni helped create the project, and that can be felt with how fluid and intuitive XDefiant’s gunplay is, the attention to detail given to things like match voiceover being unique for each faction, and very rewarding per-weapon progression and loadout customization.
