a bit lower than what i expected
Wasn’t expecting much from this game at all so I’m pleasantly surprised by these scores. Will definitely get the game at some point.
Nintendolife review just went up and gave it a 7/10; they praised the style but noted the gameplay becomes repetitive and that there’s not much here for fans of the main franchise, asking just who the audience here is.
I see plenty of divisive opinions on this game. Some reviewers love it, others are underwhelmed.
I’ve been surprised with IGN’s high numbers lately. And Nintendo life of all people going lower.
Reviewing about as well I expected it to be, looking forward to playing this on Friday.
I really dislike that it’s not multiplayer. Is there not two characters you go on the adventure with? Cereza and the demon.
I really hope this is successful, Bayo fans need to sit down and shut up once in a while.
I had doubts about this game until I played the demo. I redeemed one of my vouchers for this game and can’t wait to play it Friday.
Bayoneta isn’t really my thing, but this looks really interesting. I’ll check out the demo.
Has anyone read the first paragraph of CGMagazines review? Wtf?
Having played the demo I think a 7.5 is fair. It’s very pretty and extremely well made, but I could see 12 hours of it getting samey. I want it but not £43 want it…
Isn’t $60 a bit too much?
