Carmageddon: Rogue Shift for Switch 2 channels the franchise's violent, high-octane roots into a roguelite package that is immediately gratifying. Early runs deliver gleeful mayhem and a strong sense of destructive freedom, but the formula begins to feel thin after repeated playthroughs.

  • Instant gratification: The core driving and combat moments are loud, destructive and satisfying, making for an entertaining first few runs.
  • Roguelite loop wears thin: Procedural runs and progression mechanics keep things fresh briefly, but the game struggles to sustain variety over longer sessions.
  • Nostalgic and provocative: Fans of the 1997 original will recognise the series' controversial DNA, and Rogue Shift leans into that old-school edge while modernising the framework.
  • Best in short bursts: The title excels as bite-sized chaos rather than an endurance experience—fun to dip into, but not always rewarding as a long-term grind.
