A 91! Some strong reviews and much praise. It becomes the best of Opencritic for 2025 so far by 1 point. Update: The game has achieved a 9.7 user score on Metacritic, being among if not the highest user rated game ever on 1k reviews so far. 

Well this comment turned out really wrong. Deleting. 

92 on PS and PC so far with 40 and 31 reviews in respectively, 95 on XB with 7.

This doesn't surprise me as the game had been getting some rave previews and everything I've seen of it so far looks excellent. If I had to guess it'll probably settle somewhere around 90.

Got it preloaded and ready. Can't wait.

Guess I'm gonna have to buy this game. I'm not sure I will even like it but a 92 for a new IP is wild, there has to be something here. I'm day one.

Always a month of GP? It's on there. Get to play both this and Oblivion.

I hope the Oblivion shadow drop doesn't affect hype for it, as this was the big release for the end of this month.

I will be getting it, though not immediately. Too many games in the backlog, so I'll wait until summer or fall before buying it, but I'm really glad to see the game get great reviews as it's been one of my most anticipated titles ever since the reveal trailer.

Wow. I was actually just starting a video game break (in preparation for NSW2)…but this is very tempting. Those are some strong review scores.

I had expected reviewers to be kind to this game but not so much. Must be some really good stuff even it drops another point or two.

If it has good WoM at least that will help it after being fucked up by Oblivion's shadow drop.

Nah, I prefer the PS ecosystem and prefer to "own" my games or at least have them solidly in my library. Idk what it is but games on PS extra feel less sticky even when they are really good, very few I finish. Having that investment in a game causes me to feel more attached for some reason and more likely to complete the games I own even if they were on sale, the bigger the sale though the less psychological attachment. Dave the Diver, High on life and Rachet and Clank are the only games I have finished on PS extra and I'll probably buy Dave the Diver at some point, I intend to drop this service cause it is ass for one very simple reason...

Would it be nice to have gotten this and Oblivion for 15 euro, yeah but then I can't sidelined Oblivion like I'm doing now and I'd have to by another month's when I intend to play it and then another month when another title comes out and basically I have another subscription service I don't need. I have the peace of mind that Oblivion is there on my console or in my library if I delete it and that feels way better than having the prospect that one day I'll decide to play it in a year as a hyperbolic time (prop a month or two before I get to it) and it won't be there. 

Pre-loading now with 19 hours to go, strange release timing, I would have stayed up for a midnight release on this one. Idk why but I'm kinda excited, I know very little about this game other than it is rurn based and has a strange world. I have no expectations so this could blow me away and dammit I need a game to do thst right now.
