The Real Review

The Relic: First Guardian is a rough launch that’s losing more players than it’s winning. The core combat, especially the parry system and bosses, gets some real praise for feeling good. But that’s buried under widespread complaints about terrible performance, ugly graphics, and a busted camera, with the Switch 2 version singled out as particularly bad. The story is fine, but for an action RPG from Project Cloud Games, it’s just not worth the price or frustration in its current state.
