GamesRadar+David HoughtonAug 20174.5/5 stars
Mixing eclectic elements from throughout the genre's history, but making them all entirely its own, LawBreakers is an immediate, energised shot of FPS purity, with intelligence, depth, and exhilarating strategy to spare.

More than just another arena shooter, LawBreakers stands on its own to fill a niche that's different to any other titles out there, and I am thoroughly pleased to have the game change my opinions on it. An essential shooter.

Regardless of the play style, every character feels perfect on every map, which is a testament to the game's incredible design.

The game's propensity for indulging counterintuitive elements feels like a willful act of self-sabotage.

Lawbreakers has a decent foundation with high-action gameplay, but many fundamental things go amiss, and many decisions sacrifice its universality.
