Surprised nobody posted this already but Yeah.. It's from IGN and uses old clips from previous videos but the review does sound what i would expect from Valve.

The word "masterpiece" was used.

haha tell me about it, and I'm still waiting for my RMA but I'm trying to manage expectations, so I can be pleasantly surprised and I don't trust journalists which helps :D

Been a few years since I feel like gaming's had a masterpiece. And to say it in a preview seems a little too eager. We shall see, wouldn't be Valve's first.

True.. I did loved witcher 3, persona 5 and breath of the wild but i don't think they reach masterpiece levels..

Its IGN........Its IGN. They literally do not know how to review things. Or do we have to bring out the list again xD?

No matter which publication says Alyx is a great game, people will come on here and make comments like the one above mine.

I'll wait for RPS our Eurogamer. IGN...its like fox news.

"The terrifying radio chatter of the Combine is still used"
Eh, it never terrified me, i more so found it a neat use of sound design and a kinda 'eerie' death cue, because it sounds like a flat line. Things don't always have to be 'terrifying' to simply make things a bit more interesting or add a bit of 'edge' ...

Also seeing the same footage again kinda gets old, but just my opinion. Could have showed a view of the Vault, or the Citadel vista, i dunno. : P

PS: 4 hours but a masterpiece? that's, not how I would rate a game, you kinda need to reach the conclusion of the story and mechanics before you make such an estimate, you could end up disliking the direction of the story or the gameplay ends up leaving things to be desired or something. I never thought HL2 was an instant 'masterpiece' when i played the first hours of it, i had to finish the journey before I could even think of putting that statement to the game. Never oversell something, because after hearing that, now i'm going to expect exactly that, a masterpiece. You best be right IGN. lol

I don't see this as a review.

[Bastila Shan]

Its not a review, they dont even show any new footage. Its just a snippet of their review with no new gameplay.

But i suppose i can see you took the effort to use quotation marks to indicate your sarcasm.
