"XDefiant: Ubisoft's Hit Shooter Blends Overwatch and Call of Duty"

XDefiant, Ubisoft's new free-to-play first-person shooter, struggles with unbalanced matches due to the lack of skill-based matchmaking in casual playlists, leading to frustrating experiences for new players. While the Snowdrop engine provides visually striking environments, the game suffers from overly large maps, laborious weapon grinding, and limited accessibility features. Despite its potential and nostalgic elements from other Ubisoft franchises, XDefiant currently feels underwhelming and uninspired.
