What are we thinking this game is going to review like? I could see it being a 90 or a 79, im not sure the studio seems shaky and a bit unproven, but the production and trailers look really good. Like, this could be the better more fresh dead space game we get between the two releasing.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Linger around 80s. I think horror fans will respect the game.

 

[Danjin44]

Don’t really care about numbers, numbers alone tells nothing about the game itself.

 

[The Cockatrice]

only idiots care about "critics" scores. "OH NOT ITS AT 7 IT MUST BE SHIT" Jesus Fuck.

 

[Roufianos]

I think low 80s at best, which will be a brilliant result for their first game.

 

[Hobbygaming]

I'm going with 86 it looks like it's gonna be a good horror ride

 

[Fermbiz]

Its going to be the first game with a perfect 100%

 

[Punished Miku]

85.012

 

[Badlucktroll]

Its going to be the first game with a perfect 100%

I think thats going to be Silent Hill 2 remake

 

[gothmog]

85. It gets a bump for nostalgia and atmosphere. It gets dinged for polish and length.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

87

 

[hinch7]

Mid to low 80's. Hopefully its good, have my preorder down already.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I'm thinking upper 80's. It's a day one for me short of literally everyone saying it's dogshit.

 

[analog_future]

After the first reveal I was so hyped, but the more I see of it, the less excited I am.

I’m guessing 75.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

I can see 8/10 with meta of top 70

It'll be marked down as a dead space clone by some reviewers

 

[GHG]

80's is my bet. No idea if it will be high 80's or low 80's, can go either way.

Really really hoping this turns out to be good though.

 

[SLB1904]

Low 9 high 8. So between 88-91

 

[Punished Miku]

Don’t really care about numbers, numbers alone tells nothing about the game itself.

Pick a number you coward

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Between 85-90 I think. It'll do well with Schofield behind the wheel, I'm sure.

 

[Kuranghi]

Latest trailer made it look better than ever. They seemed to have toned down the motion blur a lot which was annoying me a bit.

 

[feynoob]

I would hit 74-84 rating with bugs on day1.

 

[Mr Hyde]

88. I don't think Schofield is gonna fuck it up. When it comes to Dead Space and what makes it tick, he's the man.

 

[Danjin44]

Pick a number you coward

 

[Whomeam]

92% ez.

 

[R6Rider]

Between 90 and 95.

That being said, I don't care and will be playing it day one.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Does it have crafting? Does it have gacha? Does it have a closing circle? No? Ok then, a 3

 

[Jibran#one]

Don't know about the review scores but from all the videos I saw I can guarantee performance will be dogshit

 

[bender]

I'm going to guess upper 70s. I finally watched some footage and I REALLY hate the horizontal health HUD on the back of the protagonists neck. It just looks silly and feels creatively bankrupt.

 

[Kacho]

Low 80s is my guess. Good first effort held back by being too derivative and lacking polish in spots.

 

[amigastar]

True, i'm playing Phoenix Point atm and it has 74 on MC but to me the game is 90 (admittedly with Terror from the Void mod but still)
To me 70+ games you can add 15-18 points if you are a fan of the genre or series.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Idk, but I recently saw a video of Schofield talking about the game and answering some questions about game dev in general and honestly, the guy sounds like he knows what he's doing and has a ton of passion for it. The only thing I'm worried about at this point is that it could be a technical mess at launch so fingers crossed that it won't be.

 

[DeepEnigma]

5 out of 7

 

[VeganElduderino]

88 and they will say the best horror game since Re2 remake

 

[Valedix]

77.

 

[Justin9mm]

There's a difference between not caring about numbers and using numbers to gauge a consensus.

If you understand statistics and analysation, you will find review score data is still helpful with the right amount of contribution. For example, Ragnarok scored an average of 94 over 120+ critic reviews. 120+ reviews is a large number made up of different opinions from 'mostly' credible sources, that data would tell you that the average gamer is more likely to like it then not like it. You can use that to guage risk if you are on the fence about buying a game you are interested in. Obviously, there are other factors like personal preference of the type of game, theme etc. And you can take whatever information you want to form your opinion, that is up to you and your opinion, but to say numbers say nothing about a game at all is simply not true.

 

[Justin9mm]

77.

To get an average of 77 would definitely be considered to be a failed game.

I think it will come down to story and execution (gameplay). I think the launch trailer just released looks a lot better than anything else we've seen before but trailers are nothing to go by.

 

[ungalo]

I doubt it will be something huge. But i don't really know. To pick a large spot i'd say between 75 and 85, not more than that. For a precise guess let's say 81.

I'll play it on day one anyway, despite the many reserves i have with this game, gotta support this kind of new IP popping out lately.

But most of the time it just doesn't work for me, Horizon got bunch high score reviews but I didn't liked the game AT ALL and with RDR2 that got bunch 10/10 but it went too far to simulation gameplay for my taste, others might like that but I dont.

Most of the time I trust my own taste more than metacritic scores and so far it served me well.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

My prediction is 82 but I don't care much about scores, I'm happy survival-horror is making a comeback.

 

[BennyBlanco]

79

 

[Arachnid]

Should be 90+, but more likely 80s. Good horror games don't do well with the general public. They get lesser scores and get snubbed at GOTY awards.

 

[iorek21]

Around RE Village numbers, 85 or something.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

So must be.

It's when they say Onnechanbara's games are bad, I like them.

The scores are the least of my worries.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

When is the embargo up?

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

80-84...Will be a solid experience that does little to improve or push the typical game design conventions forward but will be a fun experience to play once. Hope I'm wrong and its as impactful as dead space was when it dropped. But I'm keeping my expectations low.

 

[Valt7786]

Its gotta be a high 80's at least. Clearly got high production values and I believe its gonna be as close to the true Dead Space 2 that Schofield wanted to make as he can. I just hope it has decent replay value.

 

[FeastYoEyes]

The production quality looks insane on this. Only concern I have right now is if there will be environmental and enemy variety.

 

[Arsic]

9.0 average.

Game will be a banger

 

[LaughingStock]

Mid 70s.
I don't care about scores. I'll play it regardless. UNLESS it's a complete disaster or has terrible PC performance.

And that's fine, it's not fool proof. Obviously, it does not work for you.

FWIW I didn't like Horizon at all either. It's soo boring and I can't even figure out why considering I forced myself to play 10+ hours and tried so hard to like the game but its just shit to me.
