Callisto Protocol review embargo lifts on release date 6.am. GUESS THE SCORE

It doesn't seem to add anything new to the Dead Space-like genre, and based on previews only the graphics appear to have made any sort of leap forward. I think it's going to be lauded by Sony-centric sites because of assumptions made about their part in the game's develooment, praised by hungry Xbox-centric sites because they are hungry for new content, and shown off by PC-centric sites because of the promise of flashy screenshots.
I'd say anywhere between 80-100.

lol well it still falls on the individual to vet which reviewers they considered to be trust worthy or not.
You're not meant to just turn off your brain and passively accept being told what to like or dislike because of a score, right?
They're just opinions that you can agree with, disagree with, or fall anywhere in between.
Obviously most people review titles before launch, but there are some people that review titles long after their initial launch, sometimes even a year or more later.
If you can't find a single person who shares a similar taste in games who's opinion you can trust, then that's fine too. It's not a prerequisite to enjoying a game.

Cute, kiddo. Continue to be triggered that there are games that are superior to your favorite little plastic box exclusives.

And I absolutely agree with you, but the issue is that the vast, vast, *vast* majority of sites posted on places like Metacritic are about as untrustworthy as they come. You should absolutely find folks you trust or respect and get a general idea of what is the good and bad parts from the game you are interested in, whether it be from an analysis, a review, or through gameplay/walkthroughs - but these kinds of people are by no means what is indicative of the score you see on Metacritic/opencritic. There is a reason why you see warriors like spinal live and die by these scores And never actually discuss In-depth about the games in question.

ah yes. Id. one of the best fps devs out there. i guess if they can do it, everyone else who does it will be just as good
this must mean that striking distance is just as good of a dev
They delivered two 'turds' prior with Rage and Doom 3. I remember people being just as sceptical with 2016 release.

Does anyone remember how the Dead Space launch went? I just remember going to get my preorder from GameStop the day it launched. I remember it was “Resident Evil in space”. If I remember correctly there was skepticism due to it being a new IP in horror genre. Awesome game still has a meta of 88. I think it’s going to be similar cause it’s coming out not as Dead Space, but it’s own IP. I still have hope it’ll be good. I don’t know about it running on Steam Deck, but who knows.

Calm down
The same user uploaded other videos saying that performance is rock solid apart from this one section
Game looks amazing. I'm betting on high 80s, but hoping for 90+
EDIT: Man, the character model is just insane. Everytime the camera pans and I see the model's face I go wow.

People are saying the performance is shit, because of that 1 clip. Its obviously a bug with that spinning object. The performance was really solid in the other longer leaked video. I love how these pre-release leaked videos always makes every game look like shit. Same happened with tlou remake.

Embargo on release day, a new publisher + developer partnership and immediate Dead Space comparisons (albeit without EA's budget), I think this sits somewhere in the low 80s.

Vast majority of games have their review embargo lifted one day before release and get great scores. A lot of others on release like Doom (85% on Metacritic) or Half Life Alyx (93%).
What's up with this doomposting?
I can't see a game with such production values, made by veterans of the industry, some of which worked on Dead Space, to score below 80%. No way unless it is fundementally broken, near unplayable and/or buggier than Bethesda games.

Did you read the title of this post ? its getting the review embargo lifted the day of release, not before and usually AAA games get reviews earlier than that.
Its never a good sign when they don't want reviews posted before release day.

And did you see the second sentence?
No, it doesn't mean the game will be shit and I'm sure a lot of crows will be served on release.

Never said the game will be shit, its just historically never been a good sign is all.
I love Dead Space so of course I want this game to be good.

Pros and Cons will let me know of my decision to get it day 1, not scores.

We'll see. I'll be first to admit I was wrong in case it bombs critically.
I just don't think there is any malicious intent to hide something until the last minute.

And that's okay.
After all, it's Schoffield's (and to an extend, SDS's) first game after Dead Space / Cod WW2. Doom also had their review embargo lifted on release date and turned out to be good.

I mean you can’t expect people to want to preorder a game at 70 +tax with no real impressions or reviews.
There is absolutely no positive for the consumer to have to wait until the day of to read reviews.

What time is it?
I watched the first hour or so of that game play leak that posted yesterday. I didn't know much about the game beyond the Dead Space roots. While it may change later in the game, I was surprised by the amount of melee combat involved and it looked very formulaic and dull. I did like the intro story bits though as it gave just enough intrigue. Performance seemed a little rough. I think this game has mid-70s written all over it.

He said that apart from that one section, rest is looking great performance wise and this is without a day one patch.

I’m not liking how it seems more focused on melee combat. I was hoping it would have a variety of shooting weapons along with improved melee. From what I’ve seen and read it doesn’t happen to have an assault rifle either.
Still, I hope it turns out well despite my opinions on season passes.

Very impressive in-game character model for the main guy.
Also, physics seems to be broken. Ruins the horror bit and makes it look funny.
