I am actually pleased with this. I might get it after i finish Odyssey!



Switch!!!

Definitely need to pick this up and Doom someday. Hopefully they do well!

I'm impressed with what I've seen about it. The only big difference one would notice is (as expected) the foliage, especially if you're in a large open field. It otherwise looks quite good.

Ok, the original game ranked higher on all platforms, the Special edition ranked lower on all platforms (and PC-version of the Special edition must have been broken or something with this score). Seems the Switch-version is fine.

More accurately, that serves as a good example of why it's idiotic to thoughtlessly depend on Meta-scores.  



For years Sony tried making a portable console experience. They put tons of money into the PSP and Vita just to see them get crushed. Then along comes Nintendo and is like... Hold my Beer!

Switch has pretty much inherited the AAA portable ports market from Vita by default.

When did the Vita ever have the AAA portable ports market though?

48 critics reviewed the Switch version, zero reviewed the psvr version, both come out tomorrow.
I see where the favoritism lies :p



Good review. I am going to be picking it up for sure.

Nah, my experience is that it float around 3-4 points without any reason than luck, but this 20 points difference between the unspecial and the special edition on PC must have be some reason. Also you can clearly see, that the special edition was ranked lower on all platforms. Probably it wasn't seen as spectacular anymore a few years down the line. That all is consistent and that the Switch version falls in line with the other special editions shows that there are no big problems with that version, some obvious glitch or bug, missing content or messed control scheme or something like that. For more I do not take the Metascore.

Well, VR is still niche.
