Have you ever been so excited about a new game coming out that you just have to see if any early reviews for the game have been listed on Metacritic? Don't. You might be setting yourself up to get played.
Chained Echoes is getting slammed, and its devs have no idea why - Calling on Metacritic to do more.
Who doesn't have anything bad to write in these blank reviews and would benefit from sympathy sales?
I still say they should just get rid of the user score. They are untrustworthy of both good and bad review and honestly user reviews arent even a review. Of course tie it with the psn/xb account would be better.
That is simply horrible! The game is one of the best games, if not the best game of last year. Play this! Forget the bugged and rigged system of review bombing, just buy it and support Matthias and his team. These guys are superb!! We need to fight this stuff as a community, because small indie devs are the ones who least deserve this type of mistreatment.
User reviews are screwed for obvious reason and so are “professional” reviews because of money that companies throw around in many ways.
I just buy games that I think I will enjoy. Some devs you know make good games. Some long lasting series I know I will enjoy. Mostly I know what a game I want to play looks like. On rare occasion I get it wrong but I just sell it on eBay but that’s rare these days.
By most accounts this is a good game. I haven’t played it yet waiting for my physical copy.
Put it this way, I love jrpgs, but usually I play for 10 hours and move on. I had 80 hours in chained echoes and 100 percented it. The story is great and the game is beautiful. If you have game pass play it right now! If not buy it!

why you shouldnt trust meta critic ever.
metacritic pick and choose who's review they want to use on their site which differs by the game so they can make a game seem like its more critically acclaimed if they so choose.
the whole reviewing system by a lot of sites are broken. some people will complain about too much variety, some will complain about there not being enough things. some will deduct points if a game as a minor qwip when a game loads but totally ignore insane lag and slowdowns that totally affects the game. the only review i trust is my review because most reviewers are fanboys. i remember ign , gamespot and a few other sites useto talk about best graphics and even write multiple articles about it in 2006 and 2007 but in this day and age, they stop doing it. i wonder why
Because alot of media scores are driven by money and fanboyism
...or ANY MetaCritic score, ever.
I don't trust any review score from any site let alone metacritic.
