Well I guess our predictions were correct. Dark Void has been getting some unsavory reviews. Sitting at a Metacritic rating of 60. I have been pretty skeptical about the game after playing it at E3 last year.
Here are some things reviewers have been saying:
Dreary and annoying in equal parts, this is a game best left avoided. – Destructoid
Every bit as disappointing as expected. By Capcom’s normally impressive standards, this is by some margin its least impressive offering for a generation. To be blunt, Dark Void is a bland mass of half-baked ideas, generic combat and unengaging aerial action, with poor AI and a wearisome story. – IGN UK
If the foes were cunning enough to make every encounter unique, or the game made better use of the verticality inherent in the premise, Dark Void would have fared a whole lot better, but ultimately, it’s a disappointing title that never manages to leave the tarmac. – GamePro
