Review

Gigantic: Rampage Edition revitalizes the competitive spirit by infusing the Hero Shooter formula with dynamic MOBA elements. The game's visually distinct heroes and updated maps invite veterans and newcomers alike to an arena that's easy on the eyes and heavy on strategy. The addition of cross-platform play is a significant update, bridging communities and ensuring a more unified player base. Though the action is relentless and matches are expediently paced, the lack of narrative depth and tendency towards repetitiveness may curb the enthusiasm of players seeking variety and a profound connection with their avatars. As a premium package, Gigantic: Rampage Edition embodies an effort to renew and build upon the original, yet it might not quite tip the scales for those not already enamored with its charm.

Background information

Critiques from established gaming outlets reflect a consensus that Gigantic: Rampage Edition has successfully re-entered the gaming arena with a fortified presence. Screen Rant laments the missed opportunity for a more developed story mode, yet acknowledges the game's unique mechanics. GamingBolt and Gamereactor UK are more critical, pointing out that while the game can be entertaining, it struggles to distinguish itself in the multiplayer market due to an absence of diverse gameplay and a lasting appeal. But Why Tho? notes Gigantic: Rampage Edition's commitment to fan service, though highlights concerns over its capacity to draw in a broader audience.
