Embargo drops in a few days so you will have over a week to decide from all the reviews!

Still not sure about the gameplay. The graphics are fantastic, but the only Guerilla game I liked, regarding gameplay, was KZ2. Let's see how it turns out.
Me too. My wife has sunk at least 600 hours into Oblivion, Skyrim, Dragon Age, Fallout 3/New Vegas each, and I haven't beaten them once. Well, I beat Fallout 3, but haven't beaten New Vegas.
I actually forced myself to beat The Witcher 3, and not because I didn't love it, but because I just didn't have the time to sink my teeth into it before other titles I was more interested in released. I absolutely love RPGs just like The Witcher and Fallout, but I don't often get to finish them.
I'm slowly working my way through Hearts of Stone, then I'll get to Blood and Wine, but between job hunting, drawing issue 6 of my Comic, and spending time with my wife (although we try to combine some game time and quality time when we can; we've been live streaming out Minecrwft adventures every once in a while for example) it's fucking hard.
Not everyone has the luxury to get through a dozen games a year. For some of us, just one is a damn achievement! XD

Few hours actually.
It should be obvious, but far out embargoes mean they're confident in the game, which is a good thing.
Based on early impressions, I can't really see it getting less than an 85 metacritic score.
I spent most of the wait for this game time not hyped, but it's looking really good as of right now.
literally?

I know there are people on GAF who can create countdown timers. Anyone feeling obliged to do so for the reviews?

Yep, unless there's some major problems with the game I think this is likely.

90+ would be hard because it would require the bigger sites to all give 9's which is not as likely to happen since games rarely get those scores as it is. As somebody above said, 85ish where it'll probably fall. Like if that videogamer review would've had a score, it would've been in the 7.5-8 ish range going by the language. Where as that first review would've been a 9+. So they'd balance each other out
And then you have sites that use a 5 star scale. Which also would affect things because it would probably get a lot of 4's

Eurogamer hasn't had a review leak. I believe you meant Videogamer.

Having played it, i think that most sites will be happy to give it a 9 - since it does some things so good/much better than other games of its genre.
I have a few criticisms about the game already, but I think that so far, as a sum of its parts, it works wonderfully.

This was my prediction that I made early this year for the Q1 (except P5) games I'm curious about this year. So yeah...

I'm sticking with my prediction of a 90 MC score.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised about Horizon's score

How far are you into the game?
Yes your right
The site doesn't work in mobile, the menu on the side covers use the entire screen and you can X out of it.
What's time is the embargo?

Around 19.5 hours to go.

I will never understand the "predicting the score" game.... But i can't wait for the game to release.
88 open critic here
Damn you have been pretty close so far on your predictions, though I can't believe that Nier would get as high as 89 with how niche the game is and how most sites will probably put someone that doesn't "get it" to review it.

Yeah 84 or 85 i think.I'll be really happy if it's better though.

What makes you think it will be 76 based on everything we know?

This game will definitely get an average of around 85-88. I don't see it getting anything lower. Not with the amount of praise it is also getting on this forum by people who already have it.

I just finished Dishonored 2 and was interested in picking this up or Zelda: BoTW the glowing reviews lead me in the Horizon direction, but also expecting Zelda to be similarly Stellar.

Boo this man...we're gamers here bro, some of us are starting on very hard.
Hard is likely the way devs intended the game to be played in initial concepts.

89 for Nier?! Ya nuts.
The others are realistic.
We doing predictions now?
I'm thinking Horizon will get in the upper 80s (87-89, maybe 90), impressions seem very positive but not overwhelmingly so as they for for Ni-Oh a few weeks back.
Of course for balance to be achieved in the force it has to get the exact same MC score as Zelda so lets see.

I expect it to fall somewhere in the 85-90 range (lets guess at 89) because it looks outstanding and it's been getting a lot of positive impressions and previews. I think Guerrilla have knocked it out the park with this game.

We just talked about it a bit for a couple of posts. Brandon enjoyed his time in the preview so given the impressions by Gaffers, he's probably really enjoying the full game.
Okay , yup probably he likes the Full Package.
OBSESSED... with what? Tearing down the game apart

Jones is a video editing nut. I believe his obsessed with the quality of this video review
which does probably mean he wants to do justice on the game itself
