I want it to be as high as possible, but on the other hand I want it to be a great game for gaming taste. I loved The Evil Within, a game which didn't review super well.

My guess is around 75-80 ~ with a chance of surprising us at 83-84 and a chance of disappointment around 65-72.

If they nail the technical side of the game with good flowing gameplay and combat then this has a great outlook. I want this to be good.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I don’t think it matters to me. Also, they’ve handed out their 10/10 scores a lot lately and you see all the real criticisms come later. 10/10’s are handed out and it’s not really a prestigious score as much as it is a questionable one. I kinda doubt this game will flop.

 

[genesisblock]

Trying to repeat success using the same formula especially in a new generation will just end up being either too stale or generic. There's a reason why RE4 had to go to a different direction to give a new spin to the old forumla.

 

[22•22]

8.4

 

[OmegaSupreme]

It wont have the Nintendo or Sony exclusive bump that I'm told exist on this forum but it'll still be a great 85 and likely amazing for me.

 

[analog_future]

75-79. Maybe lower.

Something feels a little off about it.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Might be a tad optimistic but I’ll guess 85.

 

[Bragr]

That it looks so similar to Dead Space makes it hard to judge. The exact same combat system, a similar vibe, and a similar setting.

I swear this game is gonna flip on and 75 or an 85 based on how clunky the character moves. That is one thing that has become a bit dated in the Dead Space games and something people don't have patience for anymore.

 

[Represent.]

7.5

 

[Fbh]

Somewhere between high 70's and low 80's (78-83)
I think it will be good but not quite great. I agree with some other posters that something about the game seems off, I think it will be fun but also a bit clunky/janky.

 

[SF Kosmo]

High 70s I think. If it's over 80 I'll buy

 

[Puscifer]

Having a white male lead will lower the score with many woke publications, let's be honest.

This is retarded considering Ragnarok just got glowing praise

 

[damidu]

guess 70ish
fucking hate release date review embargos.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Somewhere between 85-95 just like every heavy marketed game.

 

[SpearFist]

I hope this game is massive success. Love survival horrors.

Also reviews dont mean shit, The evil within 1 is one of the greatest gaming experience ever. What a game it is, relentless, brutal and downright amazing.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Kratos isn't white.

 

[Saber]

From what I saw, I would risk a solid 80.

Everytime someone says “reviews dont mean shit” and name a game that they loved that got bad reviews its always a bad game

 

[adamsapple]

83

 

[Lions Gate]

88-89ish. it's a solid game. expect some bs reviews by bunch a soyboys like GS. dude got butthurt cuz main character is white

 

[Shifty1897]

Release day review embargo? Somebody's nervous. <75 Metacritic.

 

[GHG]

Same day release date embargoes are never a good sign.

70's.

 

[Trazyn the Infinite]

Review scores mean absolutely nothing these days. Games like GoW Rag and Immortality get 10/10s while games like Sonic Frontiers and Necromunda get 7s.

Personally I think the game will be a lot of fun with questionable design choices (such as hiding death animations behind season passes) and rather sterile/”dead” enviornments that lack a lot of interactivity.

 

[SLB1904]

That's some bullshit. I want to know if dualsense is supported on PC before I buy

 

[mortal]

Low end 80, high end 85

I'm expecting mostly favorable reception with some more critical ones peppered in, but nothing remarkable.

 

[Portugeezer]

I take it the mock reviews weren't so good? 79 meta.

 

[skneogaf]

I've pre ordered the game but I think it wont be more than a 8 out of 10.

I'm more than fine with that score as everyone should be.

Even if it's a 7, that's fine.

6 am US time ?

 

[Needlecrash]

Probably because it's a brand new IP from an untested studio, despite the head honcho having a solid track record. We'll see soon enough...

 

[Bartski]

6 am US time ?

it's from a German outlet so I guess CET.

 

[Thief1987]

Maybe one of the reasons for the late embargo

At some point you can even count individual frames!

Same here bro. The Evil Within was my game of the generation and it’s a 75. I’m hoping it scores around that for good vibes.

 

[fermcr]

Never a good sign when reviews are only available on release day...

I predict a 6 out of 10.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

80-85 is my metacritic prediction, but I'll be making my decision based on the opinion of people I trust.

I wouldn't go that far.

Review scores are literally just the opinions of people that write for gaming outlets or publications.
It's more or less what people do on forums like Gaf, but they get paid for their time.

If you trust someone's opinion well enough or share similar tastes in media, you're more likely to refer to them when making a purchase. As you would with anyone you trust in your own life.
Imo, the problem with the perception of reviews is that many people often view them as some sort of definitive statement or stance of the outlet or publication itself, when it's actually just one person's take on their experience with a game.

 

[MMaRsu]

7.9 average

Not buying it till low price or denuvo removed

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Makes the game even more terrifying.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Why? Because the reviews said so?

 

[remember_spinal]

Why? Because the reviews said so?

Because I’ve played them and they are usually bad games

Lol

 

[TintoConCasera]

You not liking them doesn't make them bad.
Would you consider God Hand a bad game? Or give me some examples.

A review's score is just one guy's opinion, which isn't more important than anyone else's.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Probably because it's a brand new IP from an untested studio, despite the head honcho having a solid track record. We'll see soon enough...

Wouldn’t the quality of the game speak for itself regardless?

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Releasing the reviews on launch day is a sign of a lack of confidence.

This game might end up getting 70-75 but I hope I am wrong.

You would be correct, but not a single one of them are trustworthy.

Lol

Run along little warrior. Go cry about Xbox and Nintendo some more.

Everyday your shitty taste in games rears its head more and more

 

[drotahorror]

I'm thinking mid 70's. Hopefully the game is good enough and sells quite a bit though. A bit more budget and a focus on current gen consoles could go a long way.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Glad I pre-ordered for Xbox.

 

[gow3isben]

I’ll buy it if it is over 80

 

[FeastYoEyes]

I feel like this game is coming in a bit hot and they might be getting review copies out on a week during the holiday, it makes sense the embargo may be a bit late. But I do still get weird vibes here.
