Exactly seven days ago the launch of Evil Dead: The Game, the asymmetrical multiplayer horror video game based on the Infernal Dead film franchise, and the kickoff couldn’t have been better, with more than half a million units sold in one week. That is why now the CEO of Saber Interactive has taken chest for the sales of Evil Dead: The Game in a recent financial meeting with the company’s shareholders and has taken the opportunity to charge against Metacritic, the portal that collects the notes of a multitude of international media.
Just like points out VG247, these have been the words that the CEO Matthew Karch has directed his colleagues at Embracer Group: “The other thing we’ve learned is that the days when a Metacritic score determined how well a game sold were left behind. Games are sold on the quality of the product itself, regardless of how well it performs. I can name games that got 80s and 90s that, I assure you, publishers wish they had never released. It’s nice to put a plaque on the wall, but if you can’t afford the nail to hang the platewhere is the sense, right? ”, Karch has commented.
Analysis of Evil Dead: The Game
At the time of writing this article, Evil Dead: The Game has a average score of 75 on Metacritic by the media and 81 by users, slightly higher. Karch does not seem to agree with this note from specialized critics, but it is true that the impact or not on sales has nothing to do with it, since the reviews came out the same day the game was released. Be that as it may, the only indisputable thing is that Evil Dead: The Game is already available and that it is delighting fans of the saga and of this genre.
