6.5

Rime Review - IGN

A beautiful but shallow puzzle-platformer that's a bit too derivative.

Gardenia3282d ago

I don't think it's a 9 or 10 but definitely not as bad as a 6.5

gamerpop3282d ago (Edited 3282d ago )

Really? Why because other reviews were a bit higher and you liked it? The game is generic af.

Also, you speak like reviews are supposed to be this factual, pre arranged consensus.

The person that reviewed thia game - Marty Sliva - is a 10 year veteran of the industry (proper industry, not shouting at cameras streaming for entertainment) and specializes in walking sims/adventure games.

EDKICK3281d ago

The two most ignorant statement gamers make when talking about reviews.
"X/10" is to low for "X"
And
I don't think it's a 10/10 but it's definitely not a "X/10"
Reviews are not objective, reviews are not fact, reviews aren't wrong if you don't agree with the score.
HE gave it a 6.5 because HE felt it was a 6.5 for him. Reviewers are allowed to use the entire 1-10 scale to accurately represent their feelings on the game. He didn't like the game that much how does that effect you lol.

Reviews have been quite divisive for this. Well at least it's a game the developers can be proud of so they can tell all those haters to shut their mouths for spreading or jumping on the hate bandwagon.

The 10th Rider3282d ago

Not really. If you look at the score breakdown on Metacritic it looks like this:

6-6.9: 4 reviews
7-7.9: 4 reviews
8-8.9: 15 reviews
9-9.9: 18 reviews
10: 1 review
(42 reviews total)

I'd hardly call that divisive. The vast majority (around 70%) are around an 8-9. There's just a few outliers.

AspiringProGenji3282d ago (Edited 3282d ago )

Coming from the guy who wrote that blog spreadind BS about Uncharted 4 being downgraded... You are one to talk. Who you think you are fooling anymore champ?

Gazondaily3282d ago

Oh but you only joined 60 odd days ago. What was your old primary account? 🤣

Stogz3282d ago

Sorry @Septic truth hurts doesn't it, you're known around here...

Gazondaily3282d ago

Anseer his question about uncharted in this topic? Read my blog. It still holds up; evrryone here waas hyoing the reveal as the gameplay and I linked the comments there. Only until actual gameplay was shown did they then say oh it's just the cinematic cutscenes.

I even linked the comments.

(Btw I love how only I actually bother answering questions when they are put to me but the contingent avoid them like the plague).

Go read the blog that caused you so much pain that you remember it to this day 😂

KillZallthebeast3282d ago

Going off your spelling I doubt many people hate themselves enough to read your blog

goldwyncq3281d ago

Man, PS fanboys sure do hold a grudge.

not sure where you're getting reviews being divisive. majority are 8 and above.

Liqu1d3281d ago

He made it up so he could rant about the "haters".

The 10th Rider3281d ago

People do this with all sorts of games. If a game doesn't have a 9+ people automatically think it got mixed reviews. A game can have a 7 or an 8 and still have most of the reviews towards the center. "Mixed" or "divisive" are just words thrown around to make a games critical reception seem worse than it is.

Reviews have been quite divisive for this. Well at least it's a game the developers can be ashamed of so they can tell all those haters they were right for spreading or jumping on the hate bandwagon.

I guess when you say the reviews are "divisive" it can be looked at from any angle then septic lol. Or just buy the game if you think it looks good and is worth the price of admission for a small team made game.

When I read this review it blew my mind. I do not understand. This game is very unique, and such a wonderful game. The things he criticizes about the game are simply not true.

_-EDMIX-_3282d ago

Not sure true? What truth or falsehood is there in regards to a subjective opinion?

VerminSC3282d ago

He says the puzzles have all been done before in other games. As I have not played every game known to man I can't say if this is true or not, but I highly, highly doubt it. The puzzles in this game are very unique.

_-EDMIX-_3282d ago

@Verm- if you believe so, then sure, but even you are agreeing "I have not played every game".

Lots of great puzzle games exist on Steam and even New Ground where some times, even major AAA games often use puzzles that have been found on many games on other platforms.

I feel that the puzzles are likely unique to a degree, but the concept is likely one that can be found else where.

That doesn't really mean this game is bad either, as I've played many games with the classic "this door can't open, this select tile opens the door, but once you take your foot off of said tile, door closes" etc lol

If we are saying you can't say if its true or not, its hard to also doubt the claims.

I'll still likely buy it, but I still also want to know just how different it really is to other puzzle games. I play a lot of them and just giving me the same puzzles, different look doesn't do much for me, but who knows.

might find a few that are really unique.

gamerpop3282d ago

What is unique about Rime? Have you just started gaming?

VerminSC3281d ago (Edited 3281d ago )

The best way I can describe rime is it feels like you are playing a studio ghibli film. -with some good puzzles thrown in for the hell of it. I haven't experienced it in any other game. Also, no, not new to gaming.

nucky643281d ago

why does anything need to be unique - isn't it possible to enjoy something because it's fun?

5 Bad Switch Ports That Should Not Have Happened

The Nintendo Switch gets bombarded with many, many ports. But most of them actually run pretty well, with only a couple that we would call bad Switch ports.

While I agree with the majority on this list Bloodstained is far from a bad port. Sure it doesn't run as fast as the other more powerful machines and has some sacrifices made to the graphics to keep the game running smooth. But some of the errors that are being mentioned can be patched and addressed. The game is still fun to play, it's not like it's broken or anything.

King_Noctis2516d ago

Ark should have never been released the way it is on the Switch. The game is so so bad.

EddieNX 2516d ago

It's purely down to the incompetence of the Devs. Just go and look at how more demanding games have successfully been ported to Switch and then you have proof that these are just poorly done.
