FragPunk stands out in the genre for its creative, reality-altering twist on familiar mechanics. Though I wish it leaned further into its unique aesthetic, it still distinguishes itself from the crowd and is absolutely worth trying.

Fragpunk's bold decision to break almost every rule in the book leads to a captivating shooter.

FragPunk from developer Bad Guitar Studio has a lot going on, most of which is positive. The game is easy to jump into, there are a variety of modes to play to keep the gameplay fresh, and the game just looks and feels cool. Not all of it is gold, but it’s certainly close.

FragPunk is launching in a strange, unbalanced state where it actively undermines its best features and doesn't quite know how to build on its own strong foundation.

FragPunk takes the tactical squad FPS in some strange and fun new directions, anchored by its fascinating and frequently chaos-inducing Shard Cards, but it's hurt by an overly complex web of in-game currencies and unremarkable cosmetics.
