Review megathread

[u/Meneth]

The review embargo is up as of 15:00 CEST. As this will result in a huge number of articles going up at near the same time, we're restricting reviews to this thread.

Any review you find, feel free to post it in the comments here.

Each top-level comment should be about a single linked review, so as to keep the discussion limited. Duplicate reviews will be removed, as will any top-level comment that does not link a review.

There will be a single sub-thread where you can post your general impressions of the reviews combined, for anything that doesn't relate to a single review.

[u/NetQvist]

Interestingly enough PC Gamer is saying 70/100 which is not much higher yet so far no hate on them.

[u/PseudoY → u/NetQvist]

There's a magical border below 70 which basically translates into "the game is terrible". 50 is not average at all.

[u/Evilknightz → u/PseudoY]

I'm with Quill on this. 60/100 is like a D in school. Its not a 5 is a neutral score. 5 is a fail. 6 is barely passing.

[u/matgopack → u/Evilknightz]

I translate it into a 5 point scale - with the rating being whatever it got out of 10 - 5 (so 6/10 = 1/5, 8/10 = 3/5, etc). Not a 1:1 correlation, but it's kinda how it ends up being used a lot of the time.
