Highguard - The Game the Internet Hated - Gaming Podcast
Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan, and Ace are locking in for a deep dive on Highguard, the bold new Hero Shooter everyone in gaming is suddenly arguing about. We break down what Highguard actually is, how its combat systems and progression feel in practice.
But the conversation doesn’t stop at mechanics. We dig into the ongoing review bombing surrounding Highguard—where it started, what complaints are legitimate, and where bad-faith outrage muddies the conversation. How much should players trust aggregate scores, and how does this kind of backlash shape the way video games are received at launch?
From art direction and difficulty spikes to long-term replayability and post-launch support, this episode separates signal from noise. If you care about thoughtful criticism, modern gaming culture, and how video games live or die in the court of public opinion, this is a must-listen episode of the Video Gamers Podcast.
