Paladins

Player choice is at the heart of what makes Paladins tick as a hero shooter.

There's a definitive learning curve for those looking to play competitively, but it's nonetheless one of the console's best new multiplayer additions.

Paladins is one of the best free to play games available, and nothing changes that on Nintendo Switch. If you're looking for an online shooter to either take seriously or just play casually, Paladins is a great option that you can take on the go. Only a few technical issues drag it down from being great.

Paladins fills a fairly significant gap in the Switch's library. Some minor issues aside, i'ts generally a great experience.

Paladins has its own unique identity and deserves your attention. Hi-Rez studios has crafted a solid online hero shooter with some fun and unique twists on the genre.

Paladins is a remarkable free-to-play hero-shooter that is a technical marvel on the Switch, but is hamstrung by the system's functionality.

While Fortnite is deservedly garnering a ton of attention, don't let Paladins slip past you. It has fun characters, a fair progression system, wildly addictive combat, and a vibrant look that makes each battle a real rush.

Paladins is a lot of fun, unique in gameplay, if not in premise, and well worth a look in if you enjoy team based shooters with a lot of variety.

Paladins could be amazing, but it’s all a bit too convoluted. As it stands it’s still a great experience, but for casual players who just want a team-based shooter, they may find the list of options a little too long.

Paladins fills a fairly significant gap in the Switch's library, and should hopefully continue to grow as a great multiplayer shooter on the system. Some general bugs and long queue times aside, what's here is - generally - an excellent experience.
