[Destor]

Metacritic is about as predicted. Mid 60s. I thought high 60s but pretty close all in all. Slate had a good review but the reviewer there is very in tune with this specific niche audience. Most reviews noting the foundation is present but it needed more dev time.

i think from a playing it aspect the only thing that needs immediate attention is the ref. She is way too slow to get into position. Completely kills the momentum of the moment waiting on her to come over. Its not a massive wait but we're talking it feels like an 8 count instead of 3 count. Its not insignificant.

The real gripes are the presentation and the features. Its not content rich at all and the content outside of the matches isnt of note.

Unfortunately none of this matters. This issues occurring at Embracer Group (the owners of publisher THQ Nordic) means that low performing and risky IPs will not be coming out from their web.

They just had a 2billion dollar deal, of which we know nothing else about, fall through and they spent nearly $400 million on LotR. Theres going to be a lot of studios go under in the wake of this and a lot less experimenting.

Unless this moves some serious units we wont be seeing the potential realized. A moderate seller isnt going to do it. And thats a shame. It would be like if World Tour released and we never got Revenge.
