    82 is a great score for new IP developed by a primarily mobile game studio. With some journalists and critics undoubtedly having an axe to grind against it. I was expecting a mid to highs 70s given the controversy.

    Didn't play the demo myself, but watched a guy that I trust to give honest reactions play it, and we both agree that it's easily one of the best games to come out on the PS5 and should be on EVERYONE'S list.
    The only reason the mainstream media reviews are so low is because Eve doesn't cater to their hacktivist sensitive-ness (which is flipping ironic given that those same dumbasses are absolutely DROOLING over Aphrodite, Hestia, and other characters in Hades 2).

    This is not Starfield, where people acting like it was the 2nd coming of Christ. Dubbing it:
    "GAME OF THE GENERATION"
    "GUARANTEED 95+ META"
    "25 YEARS IN THE MAKING"
    "Xbox Killer App that'll kill PS"
    "GOTY even years b4 release"
    Nobody was hyping SB like that. An 80+ Metascore on not only your debut AAA game, but your first console game as well, is a tremendous feat.

    + Good boss battles
    - Paper thin characterizations
    - Repetitive fetch side quests

      Well, if you just consider its actual purpose as a review aggregator, taking it “seriously” is fine when you’re interested in general reception of a title. But some people seem to view sites like it and RT as the singular opinions of an individual. Or they know it’s a pool of critical reception and treat it as the end-all-be-all (except when it disagrees with them of course). IMO, you find some critical voices you share some common ground with and put stock in their opinions rather than only ever glancing at a percentage that tells you nothing.

There were people saying Final Fantasy XVI would be a disappointment because it scored an 87, in what world is an 87 a disappointment? People slandered Diablo IV and Bravely Default II for getting lower than a 90 before even playing the game.

      A suitable rating for BD3 is 9 out of 10. We all know that reviewers are woke and don't deserve any kind of respect.
      Stellar Blade may be a game far from perfect, mainly because it is the first major game from its developer, but so far it has proven to be a well above average game, you don't need to be an expert to realize that.
