Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 01/10/2026

This week in the comments

A quiet post-launch week, driven by players who just finished the game and comment on guides and playthroughs. The tone is clearly upbeat, with the soundtrack and the ending coming up constantly, while the reservations centre on pacing and combat.

The soundtrack is making players cry

~12% of the week's comments praise the music, some calling it the best soundtrack of their lives or an award contender. "The Depart" and "Spiritual Lives" are the tracks named. The strongest emotion clusters around the ending.

« The music is absolutely awesome and fits so perfectly with every situation in the game ❤ In my opinion it's a very emotional game and so is the music as well. »

IGN's 6/10 still stings

~5% of the weekly chatter defends the game against IGN's score, called unfair or off the mark. The tone is sharp but a minority view: most fans talk about the game itself rather than the review.

Ending, length and pacing: this week's gripes

Around 6% of comments find the second half or ending stretched, repetitive or too dark, often while praising the rest. Puzzles and thin navigation guidance also come up. A few isolated voices miss the first two games.

Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, AC: the comparisons keep coming

~7% of the week compares the game to Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed or Uncharted. Some mean it as praise, others as proof it drifted from Plague Tale.
