DERELIKT Metacritic: Critic Score Status, Release Date, and Details

If you went looking for a DERELIKT Metacritic score and landed on an empty page, that is the actual state of play rather than a broken search. As of the 2026-11-10 capture of Metacritic's DERELIKT listing, the site had the game's release details on file but no published critic reviews or aggregate score in the retrieved content. That matters because the game is scheduled to arrive just three days later, on Nov 13, 2026, so anyone weighing a day-one purchase has store listings to lean on instead of aggregated criticism.

Below is what the DERELIKT Metacritic pages and the official store listings actually said at capture time, clearly dated so you can tell a frozen snapshot from a live value.

What the DERELIKT Metacritic Details Page Confirms

Metacritic's details page is a metadata sheet, not a review. In the version captured on 2026-11-10 (UTC), it listed a PC, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 release, named Hyperstrange as publisher, and gave an initial release date of Nov 13, 2026.

The same overview describes Von Neumann Outpost — "a remote research station built into a derelict asteroid in Saturn's orbit" — and names System Shock 2, Alien Resurrection, and Doom 3 as structural and tonal touchstones. Exploration, environmental puzzles, and unlockable routes through a station that gets more hostile the deeper you go are all part of the pitch.

All rows are dated snapshots taken on 2026-11-10, not live values. Release schedules and store metadata can change after that date.

One caveat worth stating plainly: the Nov 13, 2026 date is what the page said on the capture date, not a guarantee. If you are planning time off work or a preorder, re-check the source before you commit.

The DERELIKT Metacritic Critic Score: Nothing Published at Capture

When Metacritic's dedicated critic reviews page for DERELIKT was captured on 2026-11-10, the retrieved content contained a cookie-consent interface and nothing else — no review excerpts, no publication names, no review count, and no Metascore.

That lines up with the details page, which also displayed no aggregate score in the captured text. This is not evidence that reviews will never appear. It is evidence that no critic reviews were published on those pages at that moment, which is exactly what you would expect a few days ahead of a launch.

Here is the practical read for anyone tracking the DERELIKT Metacritic listing: aggregated scores usually start filling in as embargoes lift near release. A check of the live page after the capture date may show content this snapshot could not. If a score does appear, look at how many critics it represents before you treat it as settled.

What the Store Listings Add About the Game Itself

With no critic coverage available, the publisher's own description is the most detailed source on what DERELIKT actually is. The Xbox store listing captured on 2026-11-10 lays it out:

• Genre framing: It labels the game "old-school survival horror" and explicitly says it is "not a power fantasy corridor shooter."
• Resource pressure: Ammo, health, and inventory space all matter. The description's line is that you have enough firepower to survive but not enough to feel safe.
• Cast and structure: More than a dozen NPCs remain aboard the station, each with their own problems, agendas, and version of events. Some are useful, some dangerous, some both.
• Aesthetic: The game leans into early 3D horror presentation, with a PS1-style look built from affine texture warping, dynamic subdivision, hand-painted vertex color, and full-motion CGI cutscenes.
• Platform features: Single-player only, optimized for Xbox Series X|S, with Xbox Play Anywhere, cloud saves, and achievements.

That combination explains why critics may have a lot to react to — a deliberate throwback look plus a scarcity-driven combat economy is a specific design promise, and it is the kind of promise reviews tend to test hard. Note that the Xbox listing spells the station "Von Neuman" in one place while Metacritic renders it "Von Neumann"; both sources refer to the same setting.

How to Read a DERELIKT Metacritic Score When One Lands

If you are new to Metacritic's layout, the site separates two numbers, and mixing them up is the most common mistake:

1. Metascore vs. user score. The Metascore is a weighted average of professional critics. The user score comes from registered players and is not comparable to it. Keep them apart.
2. Check the review count. A score built on three reviews and a score built on forty are different animals. Metacritic displays the number of critics included, so read it alongside the number.
3. Check the platform tab. Metacritic can maintain separate pages per platform. A PC aggregate is not automatically the Xbox Series X|S aggregate, even for the same game.
4. Watch the spread, not just the average. A polarized set of scores tells you more about a niche horror title than a tidy single figure does.
5. Read the negative reviews first. For a game that promises deliberate discomfort and old-school friction, the critics who disliked it usually name the exact friction points you may or may not tolerate.

None of this substitutes for a score that does not exist yet. It is simply the checklist to run the moment the DERELIKT Metacritic critic page starts populating.
