Honestly this game is actually kind of fun probably like a seven or 7.5, it really depends on the type of game you like to play, there are some annoying part such as the bosses randomly showing up and then you have to hide in grass and it’s the same stealth mission over and over basically, but there are ways around it

IGN getting changing their reviews scores to 1-10 instead of 1-100 has left the majority of games sitting at an 8. Would like to have thought this would have been an 8.5/8.7
After Ghost of Tsushima and maybe Hades, this is my game of the year. An absolutely amazing experience, cant find a single bad thing about it. The atmosphere is stunning and the boss fights are just EPIC! (Also a very fun and ejoyable trophy experience for those going for the plat) :)
Not lying saw this this morning before I went to work but didn't have time to watch it said to myself word for word this will be a 8. Out of work now and here we are lol.
At this point, in any game, what story hasn't been told? There's probably trillions if not quadrillions, maybe quintillions of stories out there. There's always gonna be a familiarity.
@@umphreak9999 Just asking, becuase I thought I had some issues I could resolve. I dont expect the game to play smoothly on 60 fps, but since its almost free on iOS- compared to the prizes on „an actual gaming device”, Im happy with what I have
They're really playing safe with their scores, huh? Could have at least been a 7.8 or an 8.1 so, we'll know you're not just giving out scores based on what your boss wants it to be for the week.
I really like IGN's video reviews... but it's getting a bit much to have so many games with almost zero negative comments and it be an 8. I think removing the ability to give decimals is what's causing it. Maybe this isn't a 9? But why wasn't it?
"There’s this emperor, and he asks the shepherd’s boy how many seconds in eternity. And the shepherd’s boy says, ‘There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it, and every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.’ You may think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird."

Great review - been looking forward to this one. I do miss the decimal system for reviews though. I feel like a lot of reviews now are 8’s.
8 is a very boring, safe score now tbh starting to become the "Average" in my eyes
I bet this looks incredible in 4K HDR
1:38 "to get even more speed"

I feel like this game is underrated and no one's talking about it. This is a beautiful game especially the OST.
i said this all generation smaller gaming companies are killing it 🔥 reminding me what AAA games used to be (fulfilling)
the ps5 is absolutely shitting on the xbox launch lineup xD
9 month later this comment still facts. We haven’t received any proper exclusives yet
"No ingame map"
Yes please
I’m crying 😭 because i’m about to go broke for CHRISTMAS 🎄
It’s alright hopefully they’ll have some Christmas deals on
No worries, when you're at the checkout, give 'em an 8
I am just glad this is coming to PC.
Heres a thought, why not focus on the actual review of the game than the review score number. Oh wait it's ign audience :P
It's because what he said and the score didn't gel.
He didn't give the game a single criticism.
It was just super weird.
I think you got things mixed up here lmao
Nobody watches ign for the review, if people wanted that they'd watch better reviewers
if ign were smart they'd ditch the scores entirely, but that's literally all people care about just so they can post dead memes in the comments.
We come here for comedic relief. When we want an actual review we head over to ACG.
Man im so excited for this been listining to austin wintory since last year on the podcast can't wait to play this
"IGN: Beautiful world and exploration, however we found no Giant Squids in the game, disappointing. - 4/10"
Underrated comment
@@loto5919 how?
I hope in this next gen the devs make games focused in performance and not only graphics.
".... a journey abzulutely worth taking". Nice pun, lol! Looks like an interesting game to get into after I finish Spiderman and Sackboy.
In light of recent IGN game reviews score-
Graphic designer: "How many "8 Great" templates do you need?"
IGN: "Yes".
Revert the review system to 100 scale (bring back the decimal). Too many games getting the same score
Just use the 20 point score. It sound like he wanted to give it an 8.5.
What I find hilarious about this discourse is that they removed the decimal because people complained it was too abstract of a rating scale
or people can just stop caring as much about a number
ditch the score entirely, actually listen to the critique and form your own opinion based from the actual information
I’ll play on IphoneXR, my first release on Apple Arcade, sooo excited

Seems like Giant Squid is developing as a developer, congrats :)
This is how I run in my dreams ✨
He didnt say a single bad thing about it and he gives it a 8
Would've been a great handheld game, like on the Switch!
No. Not even close, this experience won't be as meaningful without being on a big screen with amazing audio
I loved Abzu, so hoping this will give me the same enjoyment.
Ill see you all again when this becomes ps plus free game. Enjoy!

Great review! :) I like the way you balance your argument and your final verdict was a delight to hear! Thanks and keep it up
OMG the game is so freaking amazing im definitely gonna buy it 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
1 of the games to get into gaming for.
For some reason I keep getting a vibe of shadow of colossos from it
Except rather than climbing the monsters you’re chasing them.

Forget game of the year. I wanna know what's 8 of the year?
You should've said the score was from Austin Wintory from the get go... Now its a MUST BUY!
Makes you feel pathless !!, 7.9867 IGN
What did you think about the application of dualsense features in this game?
"The Pathless is a Journey Abzu-lutely worth taking."
If 8 is the baseline whats needed for a 7 or 10? Is it a matter of feeling somethings a bit off or being unable to fault what it's doing
IGN getting changing their reviews scores to 1-10 instead of 1-100 has left the majority of games sitting at an 8.

Don't know why people are complaining about all of these reviews being an 8, that just means there are a lot of great games ready to play.
