[TrueLegend]

Bummer I guess will probably give it a try though

 

[graywolf323]

reviews for this one seem to be all over the place

IGN & GameInformer gave it an 8/10 and GameSpot a 9/10 while PC Gamer gave it a 53/100

 

[Punished Miku]

Can't say I had extremely high expectations for this one. Seems like a Sega CD game or something.

But I'll definitely give it a solid try and decide for myself since it's now on Gamepass. They really waited until the last minute to announce that, and I think just announced it yesterday.

 

[marjo]

As of now, It's averaging 80% after 12 reviews on Meta critic.

 

[Concern]

Now im not sure if I should bother installing it lol. Already have so many games to play anyway.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Man I was excited for this. The reviews aren't looking too hot though. Will still give it a try, albeit a bit later now.

 

[cormack12]

Hmm, the premise of this looked good as well. Can't watch the vid, what did he hate about it

The reviews are averaging 80% though?

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

I really enjoy the sense of unknown in games like this one (what kind of game will this be? where is this going?) so I don't want to read the reviews. I need a spoiler-free summary of what was disliked.

 

[GHG]

In his opinion the loop becomes tedious unfortunately because you are forced to repeat so many actions that you've done before. However he also did say that he thinks the game will divide opinion and some people will love it (which is interestingly reflected in the reviews so far).

I usually trust skill up's takes on games so it's looking like something I'll get further down the line on sale. The premise is interesting enough for me to take a chance on it at some point.

 

[Kagey K]

The reviews are averaging 80% though?

Not good enough, 1 mixed review means the game is shit now. Haven't you heard?

 

[Warnen]

Should have made it a rouge like would have been a mega hit

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Just give us Halo.

And Forza.

 

[Robb]

Haven't followed this game at all, but sounds interesting. Will definitely try if it's on GamePass.

 

[Plantoid]

Since it's on gamepass I will be sure to try it out, even if it's not my type of game

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

It got a 9 from Gamespot and 8 from IGN

Its on game pass so I will try it out at least

 

[GHG]

Should have made it a rouge like would have been a mega hit

?

That's basically what this is, it's a narrative driven time loop game where you start from scratch every time.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Doesn’t look like a particularly good game, but the concept is worth a try.

Gamespot also gave The Medium a 9, so yeah.

 

[Warnen]

?

yeah was a joke

 

[vpance]

Think I still want to check this out. Premise seemed kinda interesting

 

[Bartski]

unlocks 6 pm CEST tomorrow on gamepass, I think I'll find out on my own

 

[SJRB]

ShillUp's review is all I need to hear.

Seems like a solid concept with a flawed execution. Obtuse puzzles are dogshit.


Edit: LOL at that "conversation" in his video. What the fuck dude.

 

[Punished Miku]

Twelve Minutes review – a tense time-loop thriller

This stylish, twisted take on movies such as Rear Window and Chinatown marries noir sensibilities with puzzle gameplay

www.theguardian.com

Compares it to Rear Window and Eyes Wide Shut. Yeah, I'll definitely try this out.

 

[MOTM]

Hitting Gamepass so will check it out for sure, has been on my radar since the first trailer.

Not expecting a masterpiece but at least an intriguing experience.

 

[GHG]

yeah was a joke

 

[octiny]

Reviews look solid.

Will try this out on GamePass.

 

[DarkMage619]

Doesn’t look like a particularly good game, but the concept is worth a try.

Gamespot also gave The Medium a 9, so yeah.

They also gave Ratchet and Clank a 9 as well. Different people have different opinions.

Game pass makes it so easy to just try a game so I'll probably do just that.

 

[Hendrick's]

Just give us Halo.

And Forza.

This isn’t a MS game.

 

[tylrdiablos]

Curious to see if the feedback like the puzzles being obscure and certain elements needing multiple clicks, will affect any upcoming patches.

I'll give this a try in a couple of months.

 

[mckmas8808]

As of now, It's averaging 80% after 12 reviews on Meta critic.

That's not bad. But I did expect slightly better. We'll see.

 

[dcmk7]

Damn, your act is tired. Freshen it up.

 

[CherryFalls]

That's a really cool cast, especially for such a smaller game. Great to see it do well. Ready for tomorrow

 

[mejin]

Doesn’t look like a particularly good game, but the concept is worth a try.

Gamespot also gave The Medium a 9, so yeah.

As any gamepass game.

 

[Derktron]

Not making my final judgment till I try it out, the cast in this game seems good but the gameplay looks strange. Will try it out since it's on Gamepass.

 

[Derktron]

As any gamepass game.

Ohh boy here we go with this argument that Sony fanboys like to make.

 

[Fbh]

None of those reviews are 12 minutes long

 

[dcmk7]

Ohh boy here we go with this argument that Sony fanboys like to make.

Seem to be as bad as each other. Ignore them.

Just look at the recent Returnal thread and the Xbox fanboys that couldn't cope with a bit of praise for a Sony game.

As for this game will definitely check it out, looks really interesting, I like the concept. Glad it's on GP.

Hey if it's bad it's bad, shit happens but when people like him make dumb assumptions and claims is really dumb. For me, I will make my final judgment when I play the game.

 

[anthony2690]

The reviews are averaging 80% though?

If it's below a 9, it's not good? Do you not know how the 1-10 rating scale works?

1-5 - Uncharted reviewer territories
6-7 - awful
8 - bad
9-10 - great

 

[DenchDeckard]

Im well up for giving it a go! Ascent got a 3 out of 10 and that games pretty damn great.

 

[Captain Toad]

It's at an 80. You guys were expecting a point and click style adventure game to score better? Either this is a genre you're interested in or not.

 

[Black_Stride]

8 out of 10?
Fucking trash...what a waste of dev time poor Luis Antonio he should quit while hes ahead.....ohh wait he isnt ahead an 8 out of 10 game?
Utter trash.

Going to play the hell out of this day one!

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Any chance New Zealanders get to play this now?

 

[Gameplaylover]

As any gamepass game.

 

[elliot5]

Looking forward to giving this a spin. Seems to have generally favorable reviews with a few of outlier lows dropping down the average. Ever since playing grim fandango I've enjoyed point and clicks.

Genesis noir was another neat adventure game on gp

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I think I'm gonna love this game, the premise is my cup of tea. Idc about metacritic unless it's like literally 60.

 

[ssringo]

On paper it sounds really interesting. I'll be waiting to see how Steam reviews pan out though.

Just watched Rear Window last week. Incredibly good movie, and they just don't make them like that anymore. Any comparison to that movie is a good thing, sounds interesting.

 

[Gameplaylover]

I think I'm gonna love this game, the premise is my cup of tea. Idc about metacritic unless it's like literally 60.

I don't even care about 60. State of Decay was 66 and i had so much fun with that game. Metacritic just sucks.

 

[Raekwon26]

Love Annapurna, so I'll definitely buy this game on Steam.
