However, there is still the Xbox Tax to take into account, I remember Phil Spencer or somebody else at Xbox/Bethesda said they were somewhat surprised by Redfall's poor critical performance because internal mock reviews averaged 10+ points higher than the critic reviews. Xbox Tax is no joke and could easily sink Hellblade 2 as low as low 80's even if internal mock reviews are 90+ average. |
I still struggle believing their internal review system was that fundamentally awful. Predicting Redfall floating around a 70 should be a fire-able offense.
