Square Enix, which has previously failed to find what it expected from Marvel’s Avengers, is facing a second case of ‘live-service’. In fact, it’s more serious this time. After all, the picture they face in the business they embark on with great expectation is not encouraging; Babylon’s Fall has had a terrible debut.
Normally, review scores for big games like this would start coming in before the game came out, let’s just say it didn’t arrive by then, with the release of reviews. But there was no review for Babylon’s Fall. I wonder if someone might be waiting for the first stone to be thrown by the most sinless of 🙂 All kidding aside, there was clearly something wrong with this. Afterwards, there were reports to many gaming media that copies of the review had not gone. This was news that supported doubts about the game. Indeed, with the release of the game, the reactions from the players were illuminating enough. The game was being criticized. Review scores also support this table.
Metacritic has 28 reviews for the PS5 version of the game, averaging 42 points. Players, on the other hand, are much more ruthless, averaging 2.0 out of 10 after 133 reviews.
In the PC version, 7 reviews were shared, an average of 37 points; The average of 37 player ratings is 1.5 points out of 10. Although there are not many reviews yet, the picture on Steam is not very different, with 185 reviews with a result of 49%. In summary, the painting does not look good.
Babylon’s Fall now looks like the worst debut game of the year. Let me tell you, our ancestors said, “A calamity is better than a thousand words of advice.” I hope PlatinumGames and Square Enix will learn some lessons from this and bring us together with much better games in the coming period. Because we like to commemorate them with their beautiful games.
