Arguably the biggest new Xbox release this week is Square Enix’s The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales<\/a>, and while we’ve still got a few days until its June 18th release, the first review has officially arrived for it.<\/p>\n

This is coming from the Japanese outlet Famitsu<\/a>, which has given the game a 34\/40 rating. We haven’t found a transcript of the review itself yet, but the score has been doing the rounds on social media.<\/p>\n

Here’s one version of it from Genki on X\/Twitter:<\/p>\n

The first official review for The Adventures of Elliot has been published by Famitsu! – 8\/9\/9\/8 [34\/40]<\/p>\n

For those wondering why there are four scores that combine for a total of 34, it’s because Famitsu apparently gets four people to share their verdicts for each game – hence the 8\/10, 9\/10, 9\/10 and 8\/10.<\/p>\n

The same issue saw 007 First Light<\/a> getting an extremely impressive combined score of 37\/40.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in playing The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, don’t forget there’s already a free demo for the game on the Xbox Store<\/a>, and your progress will carry over to the full version on June 18th. Pre-orders are also available on the Xbox Store for \u00a354.99 \/ $59.99, and the game is an Xbox Play Anywhere<\/a> title too.<\/p>\n

A brand-new action RPG from the creators of OCTOPATH TRAVELER and BRAVELY DEFAULT \u2013 The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales combines stunning HD-2D visuals and exciting action-adventure gameplay for the first time!<\/p>\n
