Ahead of this release date, reviews for the sequel have started to surface online, which in turn has revealed early Metacritic scores for the game.

The next highest score is the PC version, which is at a 79 based on 15 reviews. And then the lowest score currently is the Xbox Series X version, which has a score of 76 based on four reviews. 

To put these numbers into context, the first game garnered scores of 81, 76, 76, and 73 across its four different versions.

Of course, these scores for the sequel are subject to change. More reviews for the game will surface online throughout the day and in the coming days and weeks. As a result, the scores above may change, but right now, these are the early scores for the sequel.
