Did it tho? On steam I'm seeing a third of new reviews being negative, probably due to the performance issues on amd.

Well, okay, the article is talking about metacritic, so it's unlikely that steam scores directly impacted that. It may also not be talking about the user rating.

Yeah, the record metacritic score was based off of just 10 critic reviews.

I heard it has terrible performance on amd graphics. Can anyone confirm that?
I'll hopefully be able to try it this weekend.

Doesn't look like there are issues with AMD cards:

Edit:
It even runs on a low-end integrated AMD GPU (above 30 FPS with FSR set to performance):

That's good to hear thanks.
On the steam discussions there's several people complaining on rdna2 & 3 cards that the textures aren't loading correctly and other glitchy behaviour.

There are almost certainly bugs. Like any game, give it a few weeks (or months) before playing it unless you want to bugtest it.
You can switch to an older version of the game in Steam if you want by going to the game properties in your library.

Clickbait headline, it's the highest score of 2026.
Which is no surprise, gaming companies aren't really interested in making fun or interesting games that players want to play anymore.

Ironic comment given the topic the post is about. And I'm not even talking about indie games only. Just a few examples people like to play that aren't in the said top 10: Pokemon Pokopia, Resident Evil Requiem, Fire Emblem Fortune Weave, Ace Combat 8, 007 First Light, Onimusha Way of the Sword, Pragmata. And I didn't even talk about indie games or Remasters / Remakes. The year isn't over yet.
So I'm always surprised when people say there are no good games or companies won't make good games anymore.

Usually by jaded individual that should've take a gaming hiatus but instead look at how Wolverine perform and pretend that all game are like that.

The best game in 2026 is the same game that released in 2015
