I say it scores low 80s. The first one was dreadfully boring.... but the visuals will impress for sure.

Usually review embargos that end so late are often a sign that the publisher expects mediocre reviews, but I'm still holding on to my prediction for a "Save Ninja Theory" campaign via inflated review scores in addition to the usual 10/10s from all of the Xbox fan sites.

I bet it won’t suck and the game will be really good like the first. It’s just that the double standards are going to be screamed off the rooftops.

Hmmm I didnt think the first was really good. I thought it was ok but never finished it and the game is short so tht says alot.

It’s not for everybody, the puzzles sucked, but as one time play through for the audio visual experience it did really well with me. Had really low expectations though.

The audio stuff was interesting and novel. Graphics were nice enough. Storytelling and premise was decent but not great. The combat was as sophisticated as Infinity Blade on iPhone 5. I'd say the metacritic scores for it were very generous.

Yeah, I know some ppl tht really enjoyed it but I'm a stickler for combat and the combat was basic and mediocre hence why I didn't take to it.
