Garbage and deserved. They should have made a real game not the same bs thy got a free pass on before. These morons were saying "oh now tht it has a big Microsoft budget it'll be bigger, better, etc" I told them yeah I hear tht! Microsoft will not open its wallet nych for games so expect the same.

Still blows my mind it took they 7 years to create HB2 and it came and went like a dry fart. Meanwhile Phil and Matt Booty green-lighted Ninja Theory's next game that no one will care about or play. Even Xbox shills like Gene Park has been openly talking about how overrated and mediocre NT is as a studio.

@Evilms

Some of those scores are odd.
Psychonauts 2 was perfect out of the gate, but somehow scored the same as Halo Infinite?
HellBlade 2 was a nothing burger, but it scored much lower than that broken game Redfall?

Hmm.... anyways just thinking out loud.

OK so I got this one wrong, Edge gave it a 4 - even having a strong female lead couldn't save it.
People find Edge controversial... I find them pretty good with scores.
They just to a more accurate review scaling while others medias only work with 8, 9 and 10 lol

6 from Edge is like 8 from others publications.

Even a broken gameplay is better than no gameplay 🤷‍♂️

There are more as a game in Redfall than Hellblade 2.

I couldn't believe they gave Redfall 6/10 - even if they liked it that game had a host of technical issues at launch.

They also definitely favour Nintendo games, but at they least arent as idiosyncratic as Eurogamer for example.

Well they scored Stellar Blade and Redfall the same, Let that sink in. Well at least with this score Lulblade 2 falls below SB, We need one more sub 5 score to get this shitshow below 80
