ImpulsegamerSep 20254.9/5There are plenty of contenders for FPS game time these days and while some may try and add new features or unique gameplay dynamics, Metal Eden takes a look back at what made the classics great and basically just combines all the best features and bundles them into a beautifully realised sci fi world in a way that feels new but also familiar. A brilliant combination of the old and the new. Well worth grabbing and having a play for those of us "Boomers" and for the younger gamers alike!

Analog Stick GamingJeff M YoungSep 20259.5/10Metal Eden represents everything I love about videogames. It also helps that it has likely the best gunplay of a shooter in the past several years. While its story may not grab most players, its focus on constant action and creative platforming certainly will. Reikon has crafted a stunningly brilliant cyberpunk shooter here that is a testament to their creative vision and an absolute pleasure to experience.

PlayStation UniverseJames DavieSep 20256/10Altogether, Metal Eden should be given a try, there's a demo on the PlayStation Store that can help you decide whether you dig its energy. However, despite its frenetic pace and solid gunplay, there's a sense the true potential of Metal Eden is unfinished. If you want a good and brief FPS, you can do far worse than Metal Eden, but you'll be left with the lingering impression you've seen all it has to offer too quick, and that the game's potential has only come out of the FPS oven half-baked.

StevivorSteve WrightSep 20256/10Ultimately, Metal Eden is a close to a great game, but falls flat. It’s short, repetitive, and gets in its own way when it comes to a core combat loop. If you’re on the fence with this one, I’d heartily suggest that you check out demos here on PC, here on Xbox, and here on PlayStation.
