Phantom Blade Zero is turning heads after critics awarded the upcoming martial arts action game high aggregate scores across major tracking outlets. Early reception currently sits at an impressive 88 on Metacritic alongside a 91 top-critic average on OpenCritic.
Reviewers singled out the frantic combat mechanics for high praise, drawing favorable comparisons to Sekiro while celebrating the cinematic boss battles, atmospheric art direction, and soundtrack. On the downside, early appraisals noted a fairly generic storyline alongside occasional optimization hiccups during demanding action set-pieces.
If you have been keeping an eye on S-Game's dark wuxia hack-and-slash project, Phantom Blade Zero is scheduled to land on PC and PlayStation 5 on October 29.
