First reviews
Scorn kept us waiting for a long time. Work on the game began in 2014, and initially it was to be released at the end of 2017. Expectations were high, so we are curious to see if the game lives up to them. The first reviews are good, but it's hard to talk about universal admiration. On OpenCritic, the game has an average rating of 71% combined for both hardware platforms. In turn, on Metacritic, the average score for the PC release is 72%. Below we cite selected review scores:
- Attack of the Fanboy - 5/5
- Gaming Nexus - 9/10
- Spector.sk - 9/10
- CD-Action - 8
- Guardian - 4/5
- Gameshub - 4/5
- PCGamer - 80/100
- VG247 - 4/5
- Twinfinite - 4/5
- But Who Though? - 8/10
- Gamepressure - 7.0/10
- Gamepur - 6/10
- EGM - 4/5
- TechRaptor - 4.5/10
- GameStop 4.0/10
- Xbox Era - 4/10
- VGC - 2/5
- Game Rant - 1/5
As you can see, the gap in reviews is significant - the game receives both very high and very low ratings. Everybody seems to like the atmosphere and visuals. Differences of opinion appear on the issue of gameplay. Some say the combat and puzzles are decently implemented, while others think the game is poor in these aspects, and there is too much aimless loitering in the campaign.
