Well considering Nintendo’s holiday lineup this year is 78 The Metascore (Z-A, Hyrule Warriors, Kirby Air Rider), that’s now what I’m gonna say for this lol

89 same as Dread. And just like Dread it would have deserved a score in the 90's, but does not get it.

Im thinking mid 80s based on the previews.
Was going to guess low 90s before them.

I'm trying so hard to stay away from the news but people have made it impossible. And the things people are saying scare me.

I'm getting a bad vibe from this game. I don't think below 80 is out of the cards, but I'll guess 82.

I want to say 90-94 because the gameplay footage I've seen and my gut tells me that.

But the internet and media's asininely stupid over-reaction to the big, fat nothing-burger that is Myles Makenzie will probably bring this down to an 85-89.

haha i wouldn't worry about it. So there is a talkative NPC. Who cares.

The short bit of video I saw I was impressed by how insanely lifelike the model and animation was on that NPC. Anyway, I doubt it'll affect the game much in a negative way. I've mostly ignored the stuff but I've seen plenty of headlines of people being horrified and I am just laughing about it.

I think it is highly likely people are VASTLY overblowing the whole thing just cuz people like to freak out about stuff and for content creators it makes them money to sensationalize something like this before people can even play the game to see for themselves. It's not like PokeZ-A or anything where people were going crazy by how bad and outdated and shovelware the game is, in this case it's literally just a talkative NPC, who cares.

85-89, imho.

Hoping it gets a 92 but it will probably score high 80's.

A talkative NPC in a Metroid game can be a very detrimental thing, it kinda goes against the whole point of this series. In any case I've been concerned ever since the bike thing happened.

But yes, I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and hopefully everything clicks together well.

85 so far. Very close call

Edit: Oh it's down to 83 but only 79 on Metacritic. I think it will be around 81 on Opencritic then :/

Edit2: 82 now. 80 is possible
