Red Nun's Legacy review roundup
Checked . Intent: Early critic and player scores.
I almost wrote “players love it” off a 87 percent Steam bar. Then I saw 32 reviews. I put the count next to the percent so the bar cannot outrun the sample.
Scores with their sample sizes
Publisher-selected quotes on the Steam page (Rely on Horror 9/10, HorrorFuel 8.5/10, Analog Stick 8/10) are marketing picks. They are not the Metacritic average.
| Source | Score | Sample | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metacritic | 71 | 4 critic reviews, user score closed | 28 Oct 2026 |
| OpenCritic | 74, 56% recommend | 9 reviews | 28 Oct 2026 |
| Steam | 87% | 32 reviews | 28 Oct 2026 |
| PlayStation US | 4.88 | 26 ratings | 28 Oct 2026 |
Named critic scores
OpenCritic’s breakdown included TheSixthAxis 7, PSU 7.5, Everyeye 7.5, IGN Italy 6.5, Console-Tribe 80/100, Uagna 8, Pizza Fria 7.8, and Analog Stick 8. No Chinese-language review set was collected.
Questions
Is it “overwhelmingly positive”?
No. Four Metacritic reviews and nine OpenCritic reviews are too few for that phrase. Say “early scores in the low-to-mid 70s.”
What did critics praise?
OpenCritic’s cited outlets mention the ending of the story, the look, Akira Yamaoka’s music, and the sound. Those are review opinions, not measurements.
What did they criticize?
IGN Italy and Gamesurf, as summarized by OpenCritic and Metacritic, point at simpler play, weaker chase AI, and too many supplies.
