The reviews are starting to trickle in, and the latest comes from Neoseeker.com.  This is a real in-depth look at Demigod, and the best part…..Demigod gets a 10 out of 10 and an Editors Choice!

“I could shed tears over this blend of absolute beauty and epicness.  Seriously, start a Skirmish in single player just to enjoy the scenery, because there's no way to absorb all the details when you're in a heated match.  All the visual effects can sometimes be overwhelming when you're at the end of a match, and one area of the map becomes so saturated with different attacks and spells going off at the same time -- made my head spin.”

Doesn't get much better than that

I don't trust that review.  It's great to get rave reviews but not when they come as fanboy gushings.

A well deserved score.

i'm sure many of us eagerly/warily wait for ign.  i already got the game tho, so i could care less what ppl say lol

giving a game with no tutorial and sparse single player content a perfect score is madness/sparta.

graphics even on medium settings on my laptop are 10 though.

you do learn a lot from your AI teammates. i wondered where my rook teammate was always wandering off too ...lol and he showed me there was an place to buy artifacts, regenerate my health and mana and to upgrade my citadel. i do wish the generals and their units were a little better developed though. the generals are a little too front line for my taste.

i like demigod and all, but i tend to be skeptical when the have reviews on release, especially without really trying mp out a ton

10 out of 10 sounds pretty good to me.

Fanboy gushing? hehehehehe you have not seen fanboy gushing/raging in a review yet. This doesn't even come close to that.

This just makes the wait even harder for me.. gah... I hope the Online has a lot of players over the course of its history. I don't wanna miss out on the action just because I'm a broke college student.

With such nice visuals the review goes on about, which it does have, can you make it so that we could look around the battlefield at the end of a match for screenshots and such?  It was that way in the first beta, if I recall.

10 out of 10? Wow.

Congrats to Stardock and GPG.  While Demigod isn't quite perfect at the moment, your efforts are most certainly deserving of high praise. Kudos.

Quoting icen9ne, reply 2I don't trust that review.  It's great to get rave reviews but not when they come as fanboy gushings.

The review doesn't even review the game.  Recap:  I love it, explains gameplay without analysis, graphics perfect, I love it!

It's just an extremely superficial review, by someone who clearly doesn't play games.

Demigod is truly a great game, but 10/10 is kinda pushing it. The review was also pretty gushing, I'd like to think a review can be somewhat critical while still loving a game and giving it a good score.

Then again, I don't give anyone a 10/10 for anything, (there is always something that can be improved, perfection is just a goal to strive for) unless it's just the mathematical outcome of making zero errors on a test or something.

LOL you got all the math problems correct but your handwriting could be improved ... 9/10

More about writing an essay or a scientific paper/report. Things where opinion and interpretation of researched information matter. Ie. anything where there is not one specific answer that is correct and everything else wrong. (or incomplete) You want a 10/10 from me, you'd better be making a multiple choice test.

 

Oh, and I'm not really in any position to reproach people on their handwriting.
