One Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Title Is Nintendo's Worst Reviewed In Ten Years

It's safe to say that it hasn't gone down well.

Nintendo didn't give anyone Switch 2 consoles or games before release day, which means reviews for the hardware and its launch titles have been gradually filtering in during the system's first two weeks. Tears of the Kingdom's review score has taken even longer to reveal itself since not many sites have opted to re-review the🌱 game on Switch 2. However, enough have now done so that , and that score is an incredible 95.

Somehow, Tears Of The Kingdom Returned

Step Aside, Clair Obscur

Despite all of the extra stuff added to Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2, the new edition's score is a point lower than the original's 96. A tricky game to review, as even though it's technically better than the 🍒original ⛎version, since it's the same game that runs better and with more stuff, it is still just the same game.

That might be enough of a caveat for Clair fans to put their fing🌃ers in their ears while yelling "that doesn't count". Don't worry, it won't be considered for Game of the Year. Probably.

Just to rub salt in Expedition 33's wounds, Sandfall's debut game has technically been knoꦜcked down to third position. The reviews are in for Breath of the Wild on Switch 2, too, and . The same score as Clair, but Metacritic has it placed higher than Expedition 33, which likely means it has a higher score when you drill down into th꧋e decimal places.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 set the pace at the start of February with a score of 88, and then 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Monster Hunter Wilds snatched its crown away at the end of the month. Capcom's hit new Monster Hunter game was only in first place for a week thanks to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Split Fiction, and then that was beaten by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Blue Prince's 92. Clair Obscur set a new pace with 93 a ⭕few weeks late🌞r, and now 95 is the score to beat. Let's see what 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong Banaza can do next month.
