Just the other day, we highlighted the release of The Walking Dead: Destinies and how it could potentially be a contender for the worst game of 2023, but it's still been a popular launch according to the "Top Paid" Xbox charts!
If we look at just the UK, TWD: Destinies is actually fifth on the list in terms of the most popular paid games right now, putting it ahead of the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Hogwarts Legacy. It's not uncommon to see new releases climbing into the top page of these charts, but even so, this is a very high position to have achieved.
As we mentioned in our most recent post about TWD: Destinies, the user reviews aren't that bad for the game on the Xbox Store right now, although they've been declining since earlier in the week. It now has a 2.6/5 based on over 200 reviews in the US, and a 2.8/5 based on just over 80 reviews in the UK.
We do actually have a couple of critics' reviews to share as well - GameReactor went ahead and gave the game a brutal 2/10 in their verdict earlier today, while COGconnected dished out a more lenient 50/100 score.
If TWD: Destinies continues to enjoy such a high level of popularity on Xbox and beyond though, we don't think publisher GameMill Entertainment will be too worried about the critics' opinions! Obviously it's early days and the initial interest will wear off fairly soon, so it'll be interesting to see if it can retain its position in the charts for much longer.
