The Real Review

The Relic: First Guardian is a rough launch for Project Cloud Games, with many calling it a broken mess. The key complaint is performance, with constant crashes, poor frame rates, and a janky camera being major issues, especially on PC, Xbox, and the Switch 2. Most people agree the story is solid, and the challenging boss fights and parry system feel great when they work, but that's not enough to offset the technical problems, leading many to call it a poor value.
