Gigantic: Rampage Edition Hands-On Impressions: Like Riding A Bike Again
11.04.2024 - 14:27 / mmorpg.com / Jason Fanelli
2017's Gigantic was a fun MOBA experience while it lasted; the roster of heroes was fun and unique, the main Clash mode put a cool spin on the format, and each match played out in that sweet spot of «not too long, but not too short either.» It was poised to make a decent disruption in a then-crowded scene…but unfortunately, that disruption never came. Within a year, the game was shut down, lost to time, and thought to be forgotten.
Enter Abstraction, a studio known for restoration projects like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. With the backing of Gearbox Publishing and a partner in Arc Games, the team has brought back the competitive MOBA in a big way throughGigantic: Rampage Edition. Whether or not the game can stick around this time remains to be seen, but at the onset the game is still a ton of fun to play.
The main gameplay mode of the original release, Clash, remains in Gigantic: Rampage Edition – teams will gather power in order to summon their Guardian and incapacitate the opposing Guardian, which can then be attacked for a brief period of time. First Guardian brought to zero health will result in a win for the opposite team.

Ramsay is an ultra-powerful character up front, with devastating melee attacks that can take down an enemy before they have a chance to react. The Margrave, meanwhile, is a tank's tank capable of absorbing a ton of damage before getting killed. These are the characters I got to really experiment with, though – there are still over 20 to check out, which include some long-range mage attackers I've got my eye on.
Playing Clash mode feels like getting back on a bicycle for the first time in years, as I was able to jump right in and enjoy it with little issue. While the game looks like it did during its original run, those graphics are enhanced for modern consoles and really make the screen pop. Each match I played was technically crisp and clean, with very few issues regarding framerate or visual fidelity. The few times I did see some hiccups were in moments where entire teams were unleashing attacks all at once, which filled the screen with flashes and colors and slowed down my PC for a few seconds, but other than that, there were no game-breaking bugs.
The major new addition for this new Gigantic: Rampage Edition is Rush mode, which condenses the entire Clash mechanic into a ten-minute match rather than a
