Pretty mixed so far on the scales

 

[Mikey Jr.]

So it's between 9 and 7 roughly. Seems like it'll land roughly in the 80's.

 

[Karak]

Ya sort of what I meant in the other thread when I said people should prepare for a huge spread on this one even versus many others lately.

TheSixthAxis - 8/10

All round, The Last Guardian feels meticulously pieced together and is easily one of the PlayStation 4’s stronger exclusive titles. It’s risky and unconventional, flouting modern design practices in a way that few other AAA game would dare to in 2016. Although far from perfect and a little worn from age, it’s a one of a kind experience and hopefully won’t be the last we see from Fumito Ueda and this enchanting world.

 

[NotLiquid]

There was no way this game wasn't going to be divisive.

Destructoid:
8.5/10
"Great"

 

[Sendou]

Looking at the reviews guess I can wait till next year before buying PS4.

 

[ethomaz]

It's my GOTY for what it's worth (which is nothing).

Hater.

 

[Syntsui]

I predicted high 60s meta score, looks like we will get low 70s.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

14/20 for jeuxvideo.com

 

[Sjefen]

scores all over the place

 

[Cardon]

Here's our review. Can't say I fully agree with all the points, but here it is nonetheless.

Who the hell is slant magazine?

 

[Naythan]

Damn.

Ohh well. Ign usually score kinda high right?

They used to back in the day, they were notorious for it. Not so much anymore.

Gadgets360 - 7/10

ibiTimes - 3.5/5

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

I expect the reviews to be mixed, hopefully more will like it than dislike it though.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

All my waiting. My soul is on fire.

 

[Jacob4815]

Better than I expected!

 

[Big Brett]

Gamespot 9/10

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Another game showing the divide between euro and us reviews

 

[victreeb3l]

All over the place. Im still insanely excited to play this however.

 

[Kilvin]

Guys im scared. im shaking. I am cold.



it hurts all over my body. the reason why I got a PS3 has come to this day. the reason why I started playing the early Adventure games like Okami and Limbo and Journey and Zelda... it was all because of this day. because of this game.

this game that will not only be the last significant game of all time. but also the game that will counter-attack and kill Overwatch and all the other "Omg online phenomenon". Red vs blue on this... its going to be... I cant write anymore. I cant. I have to hide under my desk.

I just cant. I just cant....

What is this in reference to? Could someone link to the original source material?

 

[SomTervo]

This is a more extreme spread than I expected!

What is this in reference to? Could someone link to the original source material?

It's literally just Ostin's reaction to the reality of the game coming out. Sort of uncanny anxiety. (I think.)

 

[Zia]

"Chrstian Donlan called it Essential and Simon Parkin said it was his Game of the Year, but IGN gave it a 7 so AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I'm honestly not holding my breathe for this to be great after all these years.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

idk, 90% of the reviews being between 9 and 7 isn't a "huge" spread to me.

 

[Shepard]

Seems to be drifting towards the 70s.

 

[Maxim726X]

It appears that 9.8 will be the outlier...

 

[Asriel]

Yeah, this was as expected. Definitely positive, but with reservations.

 

[Anoxida]

You want to cancel because you focused on the negative reviews?

Come on now.
Skimming thru some reviews it's obvious game had camera, control and performance issues. That's enough for me to pass on this. It might be a great game in there but shitty camera and controls are inexcusable for me nowadays. It's not the 90s.

Who the hell is slant magazine?

Nobody. Slant is not a person

 

[Y2Kev]

They're not really all over the place. You have a distribution from 6.5-9 with mostnscores in a narrow range. Not like you're seeing 2s and 3s.

 

[Hanmik]

looks like my review didn't go online when it was supposed to.. my editor was probably busy..

but Jim Sterling's review reads Exactly like mine...

I so wanted to love this game.. I almost cried during the game.. from pure frustration with the control scheme, shit camera and Toriko ...

 

[Mass_Pincup]

10/10 from Gameblog

 

[TheOfficeMut]

"Chrstian Donlan called it Essential and Simon Parkin said it was his Game of the Year, but IGN gave it a 7 so AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Can't spell ignitable without IGN.

 

[wapplew]

Nothing below 5 so far, cool cool.

 

[gogojira]

You know Trico, we really are The Last Guardian.

 

[Audioboxer]

High 70s is my bet. Will take time to read reviews but I bet those scoring it around 7 or less moan about controls.

 

[KZXcellent]

I look forward to people trying to say a 7/10 is bad or a disappointing score.

[CaVaYeRo]

Ours is 6/10:

http://www.gamereactor.es/analisis/351643/The+Last+Guardian/

(Gamereactor Spain)

Beautiful art, music and some connecting/touching moments, but many design flaws, controls latency, problems with camera, framerate drops, erratic Trico AI.

 

[mcfrank]

You don't see 2-3 for pretty much any game

 

[bananafactory]

idk, 90% of the reviews being between 9 and 7 isn't a "huge" spread to me.

Yeah this doesn't look much different than any big release that doesn't hit the 90+ range

lots of 7s and 8s with the occasional 9.

 

[Loris146]

Multiplayer.it 8.6
Spaziogames 8
Everyeye 8.8

 

[BluePikmin11]

I'm very surprised by the mixed scores. And I thought YO-KAI WATCH 2 got the most notable mixed treatment.

 

[winstano]

Here's a comparison between TLG on the base ps4 and the ps4 pro... Almost no difference at all aside from frame rate

[Wishmaster92]

The mixed reviews has me more excited than anything. Especially the high score from gamespot.

 

[TimeEffect]

Slant Mag and Jim and Polygon. Pretty popular review sites to score a game so low.


Guess this will definitely be a controversial game if more sites like Eurogamer are praising it.

SHIT. 7/10 IGN.

#1 website for games is going to influence a lot of perceptions
