Heaven Angel Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Mixed reviews. Joystiq - 4/5 IGN - 5.9 Gamespot - 6/10 Polgyon - 6.5/10 Game Informer - 7.75 Kotaku - Yes The Escapist - 4.5/5 CVG - 8/10 Eurogamer - 8/10 Destructoid - 8.5/10 PC Gamer - 93/100 Videogamer - 9/10 Gamespot: This is four hours' worth of a great idea stretched into 14-plus hours of messy stealth gameplay, creaky video game cliches, and limp exploration.

mango_man Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Why such mixed reviews? :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 That's how reviews should ideally be. Not every review a 7 or 8. Meaningless :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Seems about right. Figured it would be divisive. Now let's get a proper E.T. game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 That's how reviews should ideally be. Not every review a 7 or 8. Meaningless :/ Agreed. From what I gather, everything being complained about are facets I personally like in my survival games. Glad I preordered. That DLC is very appealing.

Big Boss Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Glad I skipped. Most complaints are regarding how frustrating the game is, so not bothering. There are tons of enjoyable games to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssytu2939446d Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Not sure if I should trust the reviews seeing how this is how the majority of 'pro' gamers/ reviewers play : Run n gun isn't going to work here. That being said, maybe the A.I is a little too good and ends up being frustrating. I'll wait for impressions from members here before I decide.

Big Boss Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ok PC gamer review sold it for me. Pre-ordering. 999 bucks for a non scripted horror experience? Bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ok PC gamer review sold it for me. Pre-ordering. 999 bucks for a non scripted horror experience? Bring it on. Hahah! Took you all of 13 minutes to change your mind. But that's the appeal for me as well. The non-scripted equal parts frightening and frustrating survival experience.

Big Boss Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yeah. I only saw review scores first. Then read the reviews on EG, Escapist and PC gamer. I liked the bits. Also the GIFs on Kotaku review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdulah Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Survival Horror games are supposed to have mixed reviews depending on the people . Although i dont trust PCGamer ( they are the one who give DA2 90+ score ) , judging by all other review , if you are fan of survival Horror and alien film, this game is for you . For 999 price tag , i am definitely picking it up . Edited October 3, 2014 by Abdulah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
