For example, on Steam, the game has 8,560 user reviews, 97 percent of which are positive, giving the game an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam, which is the highest rating you can earn on the platform. Meanwhile, this is bolstered by a strong critical response, which included an 86 on Metacritic. In other words, while critics didn’t love it quite as much as consumers, it still did very well critically as well.ย
