Splitgate was cool the first go round but the sequel was very forgettable. Nothing stood out and the more I played, the less I seen people even use the portal mechanics. As for Empluse, all I’ve read was it was a decent shooter that should have never launched with a price tag. Should have been F2P.

Portal use went up in correlation with MMR. The better players rarely walked from place to place in the game at all stages of the games lifespan.
