Highguard has been panned quite a lot over the past few days, and while the game does have its high profile defenders like Geoff Keighley and Baldur's Gate 3 lead Swen Vincke, the vast majority of talk surrounding the game is incredibly negative. You just have to peep the game's many negative reviews on various different platforms to see that it's currently in fashion to dunk on Highguard.
However, lurking beneath the surface of all those negative reviews is actually a small ray of hope for Highguard developer Wildlight Entertainment, and all you need to do to actually see it is filter the game's Steam reviews by playtime. Yes, it seems as though the people that have actually played Highguard for a decent chunk of time actually have much kinder words to say.
First spotted by GamesRadar, if you filter Highguard's Steam reviews by at least three hours of playtime, you'll see the game jump from a Mostly Negative rating to a Mostly Positive one, based on around 5,000 reviews. In those reviews, you'll see people claiming that "people are too quick to judge" and that the "game is fun but can use some improvements." The criticism is far less...
