What platforms is this available on?

Xbox One, PS4 and Switch

 

[Buggy Loop]

wait, Game Informer reviewd the game on the Switch?

that must be an error right?

Wut

I somehow hope it is true, so that the wait for Switch version is much closer than we thought, but it has to be an error..

 

[Mahonay]

Didn't expect these kind of reviews out of a game that languished in development. Nice! Rime was one of those games I got super hyped for around the launch of PS4. Happy to see it come out the other end in good shape. Congrats to that team.

 

[Spirited]

Lol at the universally bloated scores from Spanish sites.

~7,5 seems the consensus ignoring those, still better than the interactive wallpaper Journey and the AI Fighting Simulator TLG, I'm ok with it.

Isn't AI fighting simulator a good description of 99% of all games?

I just don't understand why you are downplaying these experiences, it doesn't have to be for you but calling journey an interactive wallpaper is just dumb.

Was a horseman. We should disable using platforms for detection. It's fixed now.

Yeah but these AIs you're fighting in the other games are not your allies.

Anyways I think TLG is a good game. The 12€ I paid for Journey still hurt though.

wut? there's a lot of non Spanish sites that gave the game a 9, including EDGE, that doesn't shy around to give low scores.

Loved Journey, hated TLG, opinions eh?

Ya, that does not seem right, can you give me a link where you found that?

Thanks

 

[Alter_Fridge]

The gap isn't THAT large guys. A few points is just that.

Either way, I was expecting lower scores. I'm excited to check this out!

I can't remember the last game that got a 10 and also a 6

 

[jjonez18]

Now: PC, PS4, Xbox One
Later: Switch coming at some point in the future

Ahh thanks. This game had me confused.

 

[Drama Zed Nod]

Can't wait to play this on PC tomorrow.

ICO is one of my favorite games of all time.

I love windwaker and Journey.

HYPE!

 

[silva1991]

9 from EDGE and 82 on MC. Literally TLG of the year haha.

Will probably get it on steam(sales) later this year.

 

[jacobeid]

Don't you dare say that! Remember, the scores are NOT divisive and this is the typical range of scores you'd expect to see.

[Obliterator]

Interssting it seems that smaller publications really enjoyed it but then some of the bigger sites didn't. Wonder why it's kinda split like that

 

[Scoops]

Wow, super divisive.

I'll pick it up on Switch.

 

[Koozek]

Ohhh, seems good. The recent dev diaries were promising and made me more excited. Will get it someday when I have more time again.

 

[Anteater]

good to see the game isn't fake and they weren't actually trying to rip off sony with fake footages

 

[Mahonay]

Interssting it seems that smaller publications really enjoyed it but then some of the bigger sites didn't. Wonder why it's kinda split like that

A lot of the really big sites have strict rating formulas that their editors have to follow, so that can be harsh on a game like this.

 

[Arion]

I can't remember the last game that got a 10 and also a 6

pretty much every game this year, even zelda, got score splits like that. Not very uncommon.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

pretty much every game this year, even zelda, got score splits like that. Not very uncommon.

I don't think to this extreme with multiple sites. Rimes reviews are interesting to me. Can't wait to try it myself.

I wish my house had wallpaper that sexy

[More_Badass]

I can't remember the last game that got a 10 and also a 6

The Witness, Inside, The Last Guardian, Nier, among others

 

[GlamFM]

Ok, I'm in!

PC or PS4?

 

[Xbro]

I can't remember the last game that got a 10 and also a 6

Zelda got over 60 10s. But the metascore is a 97 because 2 reviewers gave it a 6.

 

[Circinus]

Umm, so is this good or bad?


Such a huge gap between the larger sites and some of the smaller sites...

I guess everyone had a unique experience....

Wow, that's unbelievable! It's almost like different persons writing for a website/publication are writing different reviews!!

Do Americans always think in black/white like this? And what a review is?

Watch out. People got real aggressive when I suggested that the reviews were divisive in the other thread.

Looking at the review scores, if this game qualifies as divisive then the vast majority of games that have >20 reviews are divisive.

 

[Hoje0308]

Is there a way to lock to 30fps on Pro? I detest unlocked frame rates.

 

[mnemonicj]

Really nice surprise of a game, it looks promising.
Most reviews are positive.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Day 1 physical on Switch.

 

[Yoshi]

I can't remember the last game that got a 10 and also a 6

Yooka-Laylee got a 5/5 and a 2/10.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

The Witness, Inside, The Last Guardian, Nier, among others

Rime: The Most Divisive Game since Horizon Zero Dawn!

 

[CANLI]

Then it's a 7 for me as scores of Destructoid always correspond at what I think.

I hope that the Switch version sells well..

 

[CharminUltra]

Gonna wait for Switch version unless player impressions are overwhelmingly positive, in which case I'll probably go with Steam version.

 

[heringer]

http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=238040241

He's right, though. Getting 6's and 10's is pretty common. An example of divisive game would be Deadly Premonition, which got scores ranging from 2/10 to 10/10.

Call me when RiME gets a score lower than 5.

 

[skny]

Some of these complaints in low score reviews gives me the impression that this game is like The Witness but with a bigger emphasis on platforming.

 

[Kneefoil]

Huh... RiME's doing slightly better than I had expected. I thought it'd get a lot of 7s and 8s, with some 6s and 9s, and an average of 7-point-something.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Some people still cant get over their hate for this game for dome reason

 

[sublimit]

I'll be buying it in the next few days even though i will not be able to play it until the end of June.I really want to support games like this!

 

[Horns]

This looks very promising. Plan to watch a few videos and wait for gaf impressions before buying.

 

[tayls129]

If y'all bastards that gave The Last Guardian shit are super excited for this game, damn you to hell. The core of this game is the same feeling of loneliness and "fill in the story for yourself" that made that game fan-freaking-tastic.

 

[KooopaKid]

After an EDGE 9 I thought it would get 9s across the board.

6 from Gamekult and Gamespot is a bit disappointing for me.

 

[conpfreak]

Should I wait for the Switch version or pick up the PS4 version? Portable play would be nice, especially since I'm expecting to travel over the summer.

 

[Glass Shark]

.

 

[pretty done]

Lack of narrative is a plus for me. Gimme the gameplay.

Wondering about Pro support now, guess I'll have to wait or just go PC.

 

[phanphare]

woah scores are a lot better than I thought they would be. I guess I just unfairly assumed this game wouldn't pan out once Sony dropped it.

guess I'll wait for the Switch version and see what the temperature of the room is then

 

[JaseC]

Ok, I'm in!

PC or PS4?

Well, it's a single-player game, so whichever compares favourably. The PS4 version is 1080p30 while the PC version supports at least 60fps and, presumably, arbitrary resolutions.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

This looks very promising. Plan to watch a few videos and wait for gaf impressions before buying.

For the love of god do not watch any videos (let's plays, playthroughs etc.). It is best to not know anything about the game at all.

 

[KingSnake]

The European version of the game seems to be much better. /jk

Patiently waiting for the Switch version.

 

[Steve McQueen]

Well, it's a single-player game, so whichever compares favourably. The PS4 version is 1080p30 while the PC version supports at least 60fps and presumably has full arbitrary resolution support.

Neither PS4 Pro ( 30 fps ) or PC (60 fps ) achieves these targets atm. See other Rime thread.
