Title: Mighty No. 9
Post by: Xessive on Tuesday, June 21, 2016, 02:16:13 PM

It's finally out and its creator says it's "better than nothing" (http://www.pcgamer.com/mighty-no-9-creator-says-its-better-than-nothing/) :P

Not the most encouraging launch.

Reviews are rolling in too:

Gamespot 5/10 (http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/mighty-no-9-review/1900-6416453/)
IGN 5.6/10 (http://me.ign.com/en/mighty-no-9/120581/review/mighty-no-9-review)

So far "Mediocre" ratings.

I don't really know what people were expecting. I haven't played it, mind you, and don't really care too much one way or the other, but everything I've actually seen of the game looks fine. It doesn't look amazing, but it doesn't look bad either.

Quote from: IGN PS4 review

Right from the get-go, it’s pretty clear something is amiss with Mighty No. 9. Its sickly color palette and flat lighting don't exactly help its generic, Saturday-morning cartoon art style. How a game can look this underwhelming and still have noticeable framerate issues in 2016 is simply beyond me, but here we are.

Ugh.  Disqualified right out of the gate.
