- Vigor has the potential to be a decent experience on Switch and there's no doubt it's central gameplay loops of stealthily scavenging for loot whilst avoiding other players and making a successful escape can be tense and absorbing. However, as things currently stand, there are a few too many bugs and technical issues for our liking and we'd recommend players wait for the FTP version to drop later in the year when some of these issues should have been worked out.
PJ O'Reilly · Jul 19, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Vigor is a free-to-play game that got its inspiration from many recent popular games. While the main idea is pretty good and nicely worked out, its current limitations will only attract those who want a free game to blow off some steam. Nothing is more enjoyable than getting out of a raid alive with some great loot, albeit hard-fought due to the clunky controls and sometimes unresponsive mechanics. Graphics and sound are decent given the limitations of older generation consoles but it runs pretty smoothly, so no real complaints there. Just go and download it for yourself.
MC_JP · Sep 20, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Vigor is a looter-shooter experience that presents a strong form in its post-looting part, but when it comes to action moments, the game lacks required challenge due to its unbalanced design. Vigor will worth playing if the developer attempts to add more new content to the game.
Mehrdad Khayyat · Sep 19, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - The problem is that it just doesn't feel like that's going to happen. There is some fun to be had with Vigor, and the sting is dampened by its free-to-play structure. But it's tough to recommend it over other games in a crowded genre.
Jordan Baranowski · Sep 03, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Vigor had a decent idea, but it bungled the delivery in multiple ways. Base building is unforgivably dull and drawn out, while the player count is too low or the maps are too big so you can go multiple matches without encountering anyone. There is more fun to be found with the squad-based deathmatch mode, but not as much fun as you could have in countless other games in 2021.
Gareth Chadwick · Feb 07, 2021 Reviewed on PS5, PS4Read full review - Vigor fails to capitalise on a gap in a dominated free-to-play market for a mature take on a shooter. It has all the makings, but it lacks the style, grace and polish of the competition. Close, but no cigar.
Shaun Hughes · Aug 25, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Get grips for the Joy-Con joysticks. Shooters on Switch are hard at the best of times, and Vigor is no different. It plays similarly to PUBG, as discussed. Anyone who’s played PUBG, DayZ, or anything of that nature will know that accuracy is vital when involved in ranged combat. This is no different if you want to use your weapons to succeed in Vigor. Vigor truly is a unique take on an established genre that puts survival at the forefront of its intense multiplayer action.
Kyle · Apr 23, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - I have spent a lot of time complaining about Vigor on Xbox One and those who frequent it, and even though my points are valid, there is a degree of fun to be had here. There is a draw, a hook, that has kept me going back for more despite the faults in the gameplay. Surviving a firefight for instance, particularly if you didn’t start it, is very rewarding, while getting the drop, and running away with an enemy on your heels before surviving is a great feeling.
Paul Renshaw · Sep 06, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Als Shooter hat Vigor Schwächen und eine Pay-to-win-Option ist ärgerlich - das eigentliche Ressourcensammeln ist aber spannend und angenehm motivierend.
Benjamin Schmädig · Sep 06, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Nonostante lo studio alle sue spalle, Vigor appare come una produzione poco allettante: a fronte di un’intuizione discreta come il contesto dei match e la possibilità di agire come sopravvissuti che vogliono tenersi lontano dai guai, quando si toccano gli elementi ludici del titolo si comprende quanto il progetto manchi di un focus unico.
