After 59 reviews on Metacritic, the average score stands at 82%.
The predominant score is “9”, indicating the high quality of the game. Many reputable outlets, such as IGN, Nintendo Life, TheSixthAxis, and Screen Rant, awarded this rating. The Enemy went even further, giving it a “10”.
However, not all reviews are unequivocally positive. Some sites, including GameSpot, gave the game lower scores. Critical reviews point out shortcomings or aspects that might not appeal to all players.
The biggest surprise was Eurogamer’s score — just 4/10. This dramatically departs from the overall trend. According to editor Katharine Castle, the game simply fails at its primary task — it is just not engaging enough.
