Rigs: Mechanized Combat League

About

Pilots battle in massive machines called Rigs inside arena-style stadiums. Each rig has distinct traits like speed or armor letting you tweak loadouts for team fights or solo duels. The first-person view puts you in the cockpit with twitchy controls and fast-paced action that leans into momentum and positioning. Matches feel like high-stakes sports with objectives that shift as you tear through environments. Available on PS4 and PS VR with a split-screen mode for local play. The game’s niche focus on rigid combat systems earned it a cult following despite a 2016 launch that flew under most radars. Community reviews highlight the satisfying feedback loop of mastering rig types while VR support adds a layer of physicality to the fights. While not a blockbuster it carved a dedicated space for fans of mechanical customization and arena brawls. A Metacritic score of 73 reflects mixed but generally positive reception from those who tried it.

Storyline

Each RIG comes with its own specialties, allowing players to develop distinctive combat styles and team tactics based on their RIGs’ size, shape, abilities and weapons. Once you strap on the Morpheus headset and select a RIG from your garage, you’re immersed in a first-person combat experience unlike any other. Coming in 2016.
