How does such a niche game get 86 reviews on metacritic? That's more than Super Mario 3D World, Majora's Mask 3D and Mario Kart 8 lol.

Something's wrong with today's gaming journalism. Or metacritic's criteria.


Maybe because of the apparent fact that people got more aware of the game after many positive reviews came out and great word of mouth or Sony merely promoted it a lot. 

Anyway, what is so wrong with this game getting a lot of reviews? Or more importantly, why are you always complaining about things not nintendo related. lol.

Makes no sense as the games I mentioned all had much better reviews.

I'm not complaining either, I'm asking a question. This game did not get more promoted than Mario or Zelda.

Does it matter? This game actually offers something unique and different compared to other rehashed games.Maybe the reviewers were just excited to finally play something fresh.

This game isn't unique or different. It has a B-rated horror movie plot.


Play it before you judge it. It was made to have a b-horror movie plot. That's the whole point of the game, to play with that concept. But the unique thing about Until dawn is how it make you control that concept and how characters will change depending on your choices. Do you want this character to follow the archetype seemingly set upon by the story so far or do you want to change that? And you can do so if you want. This game got more reviews because it's new, it was unexpected and it grabbed people's attention. Don't be so bitter just because your faves didn't get the same attention or in an even more shallow reason, didn't get more reviews, when the fact is those games you mentioned don't need so many reviews to prove that they are good games. People already know them, they're already established games but people are still new to Until Dawn. It's a new game, a new IP so obviously it will get more attention specially if it's a good one.
