Hey, that's good enough for me.

This game will be a huge success.

 

[SuperSah]

Alright, fine, i'll buy it.

 

[Diprosalic]

seems like the consensus is decent but nothing special, sounds like an ubisoft game to me.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Gameplay sounds totally solid. Look forward to playing it one day

Stramge conclusion, am guessing troll.

Weren't you downplaying this game in another topic too?

 

[E_Darkness]

I'm not shocked in the slightest this is good. But I refuse to give anyone money for Rabbids.

You sure it's the kind of game Ubi makes annually?

New genre, new franchise, new system... you can at least admit that they tried something different here.

85 average is "decent"?

 

[B00TE]

Awesome to see these scores, can't wait to dive in and play this alongside War of the Chosen.

 

[elshoelace]

Nice to see this review so well! Excited to pick it up.

8 is very good.

Awesome I was hoping you were going to review this.

 

[TheDinoman]

Obvious troll is obvious

Diprosalic is just one really cynical and pessimistic guy from what I've seen of him around here lol.

 

[Reckheim]

Great scores, too bad destiny 2 is coming out soon, will probably end up getting it during winter. Looking forward to it.

 

[Loris146]

Good reviews.

 

[Plum]

"So what makes you boycott a game?"

"Racism."

"Bad business practices."

"Cartoon rabbits."

Be honest, you had this reply prepared. That's the only way it would make sense given these review.

I'm sorry it turned out so bad for you.

 

[0racle]

Holy fuck.

 

[DecoReturns]

8 is very good.

9 is great.

It's a meme. I would post the pic but I'm on mobile.

I know. Just poking fun at gamers arbitrary ranking scales.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Looks exactly what I expected. In the Final Predictions thread I predicted an 85 metacritic. It may drop a bit lower overall but I think it's in line with what most people expected.

2/10

 

[tiebreaker]

Happy that there are variety of weapons to choose from.

But I find the game more similar to Valkyria Chronicles than Xcom.

 

[Rosur2a]

Nice scores kinda was expecting 8/ 9's. Would of been getting day 1 if i didn't have too much else to play atm, gonna pick up later in the year thinking it will be a great Christmas game to play on my switch (though damn Nintendo games not dropping in price).

 

[Skittzo0413]

Awesome, great reviews. Looking forward to getting this tomorrow.

 

[SomTervo]

thank you

 

[deriks]

Quoting myself because fits right

[LordOcidax]

An Ubisoft+Rabbids with the same MC score as a Naughty Dogs game (expansion)... Nobody could predict that a few months ago... Nobody.

 

[Aaron D.]

I can think of maybe 4 or 5 games* tops that make me wish I owned a current-gen console.

This is one of them.

Enjoy 'dem Rabbids, folks!

Spoiler

* Ironically, this is only one of two exclusives. The rest are sports games (lol).
EA's Madden, PGA Tour Golf, and Sony's MLB: The Show.

 

[dadjumper]

but what about giant bomb

Waiting for impressions at least on the bombcast before I pick it up

 

[Diprosalic]

85 average is "decent"?

yeah pretty much in the videogame world.
what's wrong with decent?

what i mean is that it's good (aka decent) but not GOTY material (aka special).

An 85 average is different from just getting 85 from one site. Also, this generation the scoring from sites has gotten generally tougher,so I'd say any game that gets around 85 average is more than just good, it's getting close to excellent, whereas >= 90 is an excellent game without much discussion.

 

[llehuty]

Ok, was able to find it for 45€ (France) so it made the decission of preordering it way easier.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Wow...some great scores - i mean we knew that it looked good but good to see that the quality is up there.

 

[Gurish]

Great scores, seems like Ubi done good.

 

[LordOcidax]

Lol.

 

[SilentRob]

Really surprised by this. I found it to be a fun, albeit very formulaic and overly simplified imitation of far better games. Without much of the metagame and customizing options of games like XCom Rabbids gives you very few options to actually strategize and feel much progress. The fights after 15 hours feel almost exactly like the fights after 4 hours. Same goes for the overworld - run in straight lines and solve crate puzzles. So, so many crate puzzles. It just does very little to surprise you after the Tutorial stages.

I found it to be entertaining for a few hours but way too empty and simplified to hold my attention for long.

 

[MattAces]

I'm "that guy" who is constantly worrying about this game. I'm in now!
Pre-ordered my copy at (equivalent 45USD) too!

 

[Vital Tundra]

Just about where I thought it would land. I can't freakin wait to play.

 

[Majine]

A fucking rabbids game has great reviews.

A bigger upset than Trump.

 

[Ponchito]

Great reviews. Just bought it. Getting it tomorrow through Amazon.

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Another high quality game in Switch already very impressive line-up.

Who thought that Ubisoft is capable to make something like that?

Phew! Great reviews!
