OpenCritic’s score had moved from early launch reporting around 85 to 81 as more reviews were added. The live aggregate is the appropriate current value.

Review consensus

Positive reviews frequently highlight the colorful clockpunk setting, exploration, platforming, bosses, music, and emotional narrative. More critical reviews focus on originality, slow early progression, lock-on and camera behavior, combat feedback, and limited navigation tools.

The 80% recommendation rate is separate from the 81 average. One describes how many critics recommended the game under OpenCritic’s method; the other summarizes normalized review scores.

OpenCritic versus Metacritic

Aggregator	Current score	Current critic sample
OpenCritic	81	45
Metacritic	79	15

The difference is expected because each service includes a different publication pool and uses its own normalization rules. It does not mean one score is “wrong.”

Why this page uses a dated snapshot

Launch aggregates change as reviews are added. The score, count, recommendation percentage, and percentile should always be read with the August 15 verification date.
