Metacritic:
"2010 has already proven to be a singular year in the videogame world. With so many triple-A titles fleeing from the 2009 holiday season to stay clear of Modern Warfare 2's massive wake, the first few months of this year have an unusually star-studded feel to them. Traditionally a wastebin of average publisher inventory and delayed second-rate titles, the first two weeks of January have already seen the release of such critical gems as Bayonetta (90 on 360), Darksiders (84 on PS3), and Army of Two: The 40th Day (77 on 360), with highly anticipated Mass Effect 2 (9.5 from Official Xbox Magazine) hitting the shelves at the end of the month."
Following their success with crafting an online multiplayer survival game in the Exiled Lands with Conan Exiles, Funcom is looking to repeat the victory with a different IP.
MindsEye’s flashy graphics and cinematics can’t hide its serious lack of substance and major performance problems.
Even Shift Up admits Stellar Blade's story isn't the best, and also confirmed the in-development story DLC has now been shifted to the sequel.
Good to see the devs acknowledge it. Thoguht the gameplay was fun but I could really care less for Eve or any of the characters. Hopefully the sequel will give Eve actual personality.
