this movements Embracer Group’s bad reviews from Order of Saintsjust at a time when the Swedish giant needs to show that it can track all acquisitions made in the past months and years.
The not-so-exciting Embracer stock fell as much as 7% in the stock market after the first votes came out yesterday.
In reality, reviews varied: there are those who appreciate the carefree nature and classic gameplay of the game, and those who find it gruesome, generic and repetitive. Some lined up in the middle, agreeing that the game was fun, even though it had nothing truly innovative.
But frankly, investors were expecting more from this triple A, as this was a reboot of a very successful series. This is one of two triple-A’s that Embracer will release in the coming months (the latter should be Dead Island 2, scheduled for early 2023, at least according to rumors).
It should be said that negative reviews do not necessarily mean bad sales, but they certainly do not help. They can also represent a sure signal that investing more does not always mean higher quality.
