Virtue and a Sledgehammer, the new game from Deconstructeam and Selkie Harbour, has settled at a Metacritic score of 78 from 22 critic reviews, with not one negative among them. That's down a touch from the 80 it showed on about 13 reviews in launch week, according to GameClue, as more reviews came in over the past week. Critics broadly agree on what it is: a short, harrowing family story told through a sledgehammer.
