How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“In short bursts, Attack on Titan can be a fun distraction. It definitely looks and feels like the animated series, runs through its narrative nicely, and features lots of stuff to unlock, upgrade, and play through. Sadly, almost every mission feels just like the last one, and with very little to shake up the process...Such is the curse of an Attack on Titan game. Unless someone gets really creative, attempting to emulate the way that world works is looking set to produce some enjoyable games undermined by the fact that cutting a giant man behind the neck really isn’t thrilling enough to sustain hours of gameplay.”

“This is a game that's content to let players do only one thing: kill a hell of a lot of Titans.”

“This game walks away from Omega Force's usual musou games, with an intense action game. Its visuals are on par with the anime, something that will appeal fans of Attack on Titan. ”

“Initially, fans will eat this one up, the story and visual presentation acting as delectable dressing, but even the best of meals lose their allure over time if that's all there is to swallow.”

“Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom deserves a lot of praise for accurately capturing the feel of the anime and translating it to video game form. Unfortunately, once you get past the accurate representation, there isn't much to the game.”

“Far from being flawless, A.O.T: Wings of Freedom delivers what it promises: an entertaining true-to-the-series game that will make fans quite really happy.”

“Attack on Titan may be systematically simple and has some visual issues, but I still had fun playing within its world. Well-trod musou layout aside, battling titans and swinging through the skies with futuristic military gear can be an enjoyable experience--if you can look past its glaring flaws. ”

“Punctuated by an impressive original score, Attack on Titan has just about everything one could ask for from a video game adaptation of the series. A few blemishes hold the game back from being something truly special, but Omega Force and Koei Tecmo are certainly on the right track.”

“This is hands down the best Attack on Titan game you’ll find anywhere, though that in itself doesn’t make it a must-have. Whether or not it clicks depends entirely on whether you can get to grips with the finicky combat, and how easily you deal with doing the same thing over and over.”

“While it's not the best point of entry for newcomers, Attack on Titan is the video game adaptation that series fans have been waiting for.”

“A smart adaptation that replicates the action of the series without resorting to a typical hack n’ slash knockoff. The cluttered camera and controls take some adjusting, but otherwise this is the first real attempt at successfully adapting the colossal anime hit in videogame form and is another proud notch on Omega Forces’ belt (it also increases the anticipation for Berserk, their next anime offering later this year).”

“Finally a good game that does justice to all the lore of Attack of Titan. This Koei Tecmo game is a fast-paced action game that really transmits the essence of the series and does it with a wonderful and attractive presentation. However, and although it looks good, it has some technical problems in its controls that from one time to another difficult the actions the player does. Also, it lacks really interesting game modes that could convince the players to return to it after finishing the main campaign. If you are a fan of the series then you should play this game. ”
