VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Metal Eden owes a lot to games like Ghostrunner and Doom, but it’s far from a slavish clone. Thanks to its far-future setting, dystopian premise, core-ripping mechanic, and bold production design, it feels like its own thing. And while some of its novelties don’t pay off the story is disposable and the world a bit too confined its successes in gunplay, mobility, and on-the-fly tactical decision-making help offset those flaws. With a longer, more interesting campaign and a larger, broader world, Metal Eden could be something special. Even without those things, it’s a short-but-sweet shooter ideal for those who value frenetic action above exploration and exposition.”
