Highguard Has Become the Worst Game of 2026 on Metacritic

Released this Monday, Wildlight Entertainment’s Highguard has become one of the most discussed video games this year so far, and, as many thought, the game is still having mostly negative reviews on Steam.

And while the developers are trying to fix the game, by releasing 1.0.4 Patch Notes a few years ago, Highguard just broke an antirecord as the game with the worst user score on Metacritic. The game currently has 2.3 score based on 184 user ratings – and that’s definitely not a good sign for the game and Wildlight Entertainment. The previous title with the lowest rating was Code Vein (2.5 score).

Most players are criticizing the game for bad optimization, boring gameplay, and awful graphics and regularly call it Concord v.2.0. It's just a question of time whether Highguard receive the fate of Concord.
