According to Eurogamer it's better than Titanfall and as good as Dark Souls 2.
Sounds like a hit to me :)

Eurogamer, the guys that gave Uncharted 3 an 8 because it was "too cinematic", and the ones that gave Gears of War 3 an 8 because it was "not very cinematic".

Even assuming this is the same reviwer... I think there is a wide breath of cinematic between Uncharted and Gears of War.

 

I mean you wouldn't fault a reviewer for giving one game an 8 for being too easy, and another game an 8 for being too hard would you?

I would. There's bound to be balance somewhere, you just can critic something for the sake of it. Flower is an easy game, but it shouldn't be deemed "bad" because it is easy. Uncharted has always been a cinematic-driven experience, so pointing it as a bad thing doesn't make sense. Gears of War has never pursue too much the cinematic aspect (though Gears of war 3 DID push it!), so it's absurd to criticise it for not doing something the series didn't do anyway!

 

A game being easy or hard shouldn't mean a bad thing unless it isn't intentional. Like Catherine. I can understand Catherine being criticised because the game is too difficult, even on easy! But would you criticise Dark Souls for being a difficult game? Think about it.
