IGN said it was a 20 hour game. Any idea if that's if you do everything vs. mostly sticking to the story?

It took me about 13 hours, but I stopped doing a lot of exploration once I got to the end game. The time to complete is going to depend on how much you explore, how much you die and if you stop to listen to all the conversations. Going stealth also adds time to play length as well.

Also just putting it out there, but it would be nice if the OP would put the other reviews onto the first page.

I see this so often and I'll never understand this.

Someone always rushes to to be FIRST! to post a Review thread and then they promptly drop the ball on updating the OP when reviews start coming in.

Why start a Review thread if you're not willing to take the time to update it?

Don't install this patch! It breaks the game, at least on the Epic Games Store. It has asked me to verify the game 6x now and It won't launch.

Does this game have endings determined by your play style like Last Light? Because I wasn't very fond of that and wouldn't like that to return.

The sites that rate games and the industry itself are the ones who decided that an 80 is average for a AAA release. Don't blame pleebs for going along with them.
I dunno, 80s are like the new 90s, games are rated much, much lower than they used to IMO.

I used to think "80...what a bummer", no i see an 80 and think "ohhh this could be great".

Where i can see the unlock time for the european epic launcher? Is it midnight or tomorrow at 6pm?

With my internet connection i can probably download the game in an hour if the unlock is set at midnight.
(Sorry for my english)

Seriously. If you're going to start a review thread then you need to keep up with the reviews.

Dolby Atmos support only for Xbox One X?
Why only XB1X....dont all the XB1s support Dolby Atmos.

Still happy Dolby Atmos is being more supported in games.

Is there any games where Pro beats that out? I cant see it happening
The thing is dont know how the game will run on my ancient i5 2500k @4GHz CPU even tho i still game at 1080p on pc.

Guess we will see tomorrow if PS4Pro performance is good enough or not.

Theres no game where the PS4Pro CPU will deck an OC'd 2500K.
Beyond bad ports the 2500K will easily 60 what the PS4Pro has to lock 30.

If PC games support reconstruction, Checker boarding and other rendering techniques the PS4Pro is still low down compared to anything around 1060 and above.

Hmmm I wonder if I should wait playing on "X" until they add the Motion Blur options? I don't like added Motion Blur in games, so the ability to turn it off or reduce it is pretty big deal for me. Wondering when that will be implemented?

I was a little off with my prediction but I'm kinda pleased that Metro is the best scoring release from the all the big titles that came out this week

Wow, so, an 83 score, about the same as 2033 Redux?
Dissapointing, but it might make the wait for Steam easier.

Good score. Going to wait for a sale on this one though as was never massively impressed with the first two.
