Reviews are in, and they aren't great

[Crusader765]

Not the worst game ever by any means, sitting at about 70 percent at Metacritic

[Blasta]

70 on Atomfall is worth way more than 90 on some woke, overhyped AAA game with fake reviews

[Crusader765]

Wait until you play it, it's definitely woke

[Mr. No_Effs_Given]

Not surprised. Gameplay looks pretty janky.

[Blackcompany]

A melee heavy game with no dodge and no block? There's a term for that: Early Access.

Seriously, if you are going to have combat in your games, it needs to be good. Just removed this from my wishlist. I will keep an eye on it and see if it ever becomes a truly finished, polished game. But for now, it is a hard pass.

Metacritic scores are pay to win. Exhibit A: Dragon Age Veilguard.

Just because this studio doesn't have the marketing budget to buy a bunch of fake review scores from the fake journalists who work at Metacritic's fake ("trusted") websites doesn't mean the game is bad.

You seem pretty confident in your accusation. Care to express what elements of the game come off as woke?

[Crusader765]

It's not an accusation because there is nothing wrong with being woke. It's what most gamers want.

Got an 8 from IGN. There are plenty of positive reviews.

And the gamepass is free too?

[SeppoHovi™]

Isnt 70 pretty good?

Guys read the reviews, heck eurogamer gave 3/5 and admits only played for 2 hours. The proper reviews from non biased sources and played it more than 2 hours game it 9/10

These companies are smart enough to make games people want. They just follow the data.

Yeah? So the continuous trend of WOKE games and movies failing is following the data? Nobody wants WOKE political propaganda in their entertainment. Not in games. Not in movies. At least in the United States, the WOKE movement is being eradicated.

I don't take much stock in score aggregates or numbered scores in general. That being said having looked across a bunch of reviews I'm seeing far more 8s overall and even a couple of 9s. Even among more negative reviews I haven't seen anything below a 6.

The main negatives I keep seeing is that the combat and enemy AI can be kinda jank, which I was expecting honestly, but the game is supposed to be still good in spite of this. I haven't seen anything that would make me second guess my pre-order that's for sure.
