75-79

Short length, linear, janky and no replay value. A good first effort from a new studio but not compelling enough to recommend at full price.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Well it's hyped like hell so a 75 wouldnt be good compared to hype

I mean I'd call that underwhelming, not a fraud

A fraud would be if this was all Fugazi and the real game is not even close to what they showed and implied and their plan was just to get that preorder money and run

 

[Kings Field]

80-84. If it scores that or better I’ll be buying it day 1. If not I’ll wait until Black Friday sale if it’s on sale.

 

[Gideon]

I'm thinking of 81-82 but hoping for 90+ so we'll get more AAA chinese game (I want a AAA cultivation game)

 

[Imtjnotu]

game is getting a 50 on PS5

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

 

[GHG]

It's fake.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

It's fake.

Thanks for the message.

.

Lets wait more details.

I almost killed the IGN review person.

 

[ChiefDada]

The fake review didnt even make any sense. Some of y'all want things to be woke so bad for reasons that escape me. It's such a weird phenomenon taking place in gaming culture.

 

[Hugare]

Lets agree to ignore this attention whore?

Please?

Anyway, hope the game is good

 

[Draugoth]

Dont be surprised if IGN gives it a 9/10 so people forget the sexist article

Let's hope it's a good game... Then they deceive social networks.

 

[NeoLed]

Why do some people think the game is a fraud? Lol

Chinaman bad

 

[Braag]

Probably 70% with half of the written reviews talking about sexism in the studio.

Grifting has become mainstream in social media discussions.

 

[Bernardougf]

After all the years of hype, I hope this both reviews and sells well.

I hope it is a great game and sells well.. fuck western purple hair reviewers

 

[//DEVIL//]

They didnt add sweetbaby inc.. so i am going to guess all the woke reviewes are going to clean the floor with it. so 60%ish.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

5/10
-Not enough Women.

 

[demigod]

Game not woke enough, will be less than 80, probably 77.

 

[sigmaZ]

7/10 Too much monke

 

[Buggy Loop]

5/10
-Not enough Women.

5/10, the women in the game were too sexy!

 

[digdug2]

I hope it is a great game and sells well.. fuck western purple hair reviewers

Agreed on all points. Though I said 'reviews well', I really meant that I hope it's great.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

86 when all is said and done.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

It's highly possible that they breath through their skin and need to maintain very high oxygen levels.

As a huge MGSV fan...

 

[FoxMcChief]

Why did they chose monkeys? Why not sexy curvy women with bubble butts and tig o bitties? Nah. Monkeys.

4/10

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I'm...curious about this game by now? That's the most I can muster. I'm beyond burnt out on Souls-ish games but I'll tune in for reviews and impressions because the combat does look fun.

I have no basis for this but I'm gonna go with...an 84 score!

Yeah. Nothing against this game. After Elden Ring DLC on two different platforms, then Lies of P, I’m done with this sort of thing for a while. Mafia a a fantastic palette cleaner.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I like hot chicks and monkeys. I expect both to be GOTY nominees.

 

[kikkis]

74. Reminds me of lords of fallen, implementing souls formula is harder than it seems

 

[pasterpl]

Waiting for my purchase (PC) till I see some proper reviews.

 

[Heart_Attack]

7-7.5 Range. Never understood the hype.

 

[RainyNguyen]

Western journalists will definitely not be able to fully understand the meaning of the storyline, so I will automatically add 0.5 point to the final score.

82-85 on metacritic, so final score will be 87-90

 

[bender]

I'd be surprised if it scores over 75%. I voted 65-69%.

 

[Borowski_1]

Overhyped Unreal Engine 5 slop.
Souls like shite needs to be stopped, bring back action adventure hack n slashers.

what this guy said

i'm sick and tired of "souls-like" stuff

 

[Tomi]

Over 90% for sure

 

[amigastar]

Only 7 hours left to the Review Embargo.
Curious about the score but honestly i don't think i will get the game.

 

[Borowski_1]

75-79

Short length, linear, janky and no replay value. A good first effort from a new studio but not compelling enough to recommend at full price.

how is being linear a bad thing?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Something looks off to me. I am day one on PC thanks to an NVIDIA code so I am hoping its amazing. I was blown away when it was first unveiled but I am just a little cautious after recent videos.

Nvidia code?

 

[Fess]

Not much else to see once you’ve finished it.

But I wouldn’t worry about it going by videos. A highly action-focused game can be linear in how you progress and still fun to replay if the action is cool and challenging and if there are different strategies to use. It’s not like a story-focused game, where it’s like going through a TV show, at best you may decide to go through it all again in a couple years.

 

[Fabieter]

how is being linear a bad thing?

I second this, im this day and age it's refreshing to have a linearly high budget game. Not everything has to be open world and most people don't even finish their games so I don't see how no replay value is a negative either.

 

[winjer]

The fake review didnt even make any sense. Some of y'all want things to be woke so bad for reasons that escape me. It's such a weird phenomenon taking place in gaming culture.

Considering the sear campaign IGN did against this game and it's developers, it did make sense.
And IGN has a long history of not being fair and unbiased in their reviews. So that fake review score fit their MO.

 

[Caio]

74 on Meta.

 

[Luipadre]

low 80s

 

[DenchDeckard]

Nvidia code?

I get free codes if a manufacturer is giving away games. Just a perk of my Job.

 

[Sentenza]

I'm predicting the higher side of the 70s range and HOPING for more and to be surprised by how good iti s.

EDIT - On second thought I lowered my prediction since a lot of journos will have a chip on their shoulders about this one.

 

[N30RYU]

how is being linear a bad thing?

There wasn't some info that there are 5 big open areas?

It won't perform as good as Stellar Blade but kinda in a similar way in the 85s

 

[Little Mac]

87

 

[nowhat]

Why did they chose monkeys? Why not sexy curvy women with bubble butts and tig o bitties? Nah. Monkeys.

4/10

Hey, monkeys can have bubble butts too.

 

[Bojji]

5/10
-Not enough Women.

4.5/8

Monke too stereotypical.
