Early critical reaction to Carmageddon: Rogue Shift has landed and opinions are sharply divided. The vehicle-focused roguelite arrives on Xbox Series X|S this Friday, February 6, and the first batch of reviews offers a clear split between enthusiastic endorsements and much harsher takes.

  • Review rollout: outlets began publishing impressions today, giving players their first wide look at how Rogue Shift plays ahead of launch.
  • Polarised scores: some reviewers are handing out strong recommendations while others are assigning noticeably low marks — the consensus is far from settled.
  • What’s working: positive write-ups highlight the game’s high-energy mayhem, bold ideas and replay potential that can make runs feel fresh for some players.
  • What’s not: detractors argue parts of the package fail to land consistently, leaving aspects of the experience uneven for certain reviewers.
  • How to approach it: given the split, prospective buyers may want to read a few full reviews or watch gameplay clips to judge whether Rogue Shift’s style matches their tastes.
