Resonance Reviews — Metacritic Splits and OpenCritic 83

Numbers two days after launch

OpenCritic: 83 Top Critic Average, 85% recommend, 74 reviews, 89th percentile. Metacritic platform splits reported at launch: PlayStation 5 about 80 (largest sample), Xbox Series X about 84 (small sample), PC about 85. Combined Metascore write-ups still quote 79–80 Generally Favorable depending on ingest lag.

The spread is the story: PlayStation Universe 95, GamingBolt 9/10, IGN 6/10, Eurogamer 60. Critics who scored it as an action-adventure generally liked the melee and Crete; critics who wanted Requiem stealth called the combat a grind. Polygon’s roundup treats it as a strong side story, not a Game Awards front-runner.
