Well we know that the reviews are going to trickle in at an odd but existent pace these next couple of days so lets put all of our pessimism, optimism, delusion, and so forth on display and take one last minute guess at what the critical response will be. Metacritic isn't some end all be all of the importance but it's still fun to guess.
For me personally, even with all the red flags in way of review embargos and multiple hit pieces, I'm expecting the game to do at least somewhat decent to lukewarm critically. I think its going to ultimately be a mix of 7's and 6's with only a few permeating 8's at the most from places like easy allies. So I think it will land roughly around the 70-74 range, but I also acknowledge that a few genuinely negative reviews might drop the score pretty significantly but ultimately we will see, i feel like the lowest its gonna get is a few scattered 5s cause its not like the game is some buggy mess.
NOTE, don't use this as an opportunity to make some blanket insults about games journalism
