IGN: 8/10: https://www.ign.com/articles/predator-badlands-review

Predator: Badlands is getting an 8. Dan Trachtenberg is heading in an interesting direction with this franchise and he gets bonus points for that. The Predator as a mysterious murder monster is getting some of his backstory filled in, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Badlands, in shifting the perspective to a Yautja main character, actually highlights what's been great about this franchise in its better moments. Dek and Thia are an unexpectedly fun pairing that bring a new energy to the franchise and an altogether different kind of hunt. It might not be pulling the skull and spine out of us and screaming in bloody victory, but it gets close.

You laughing at Prey's RT score doesn't really hold any weight when we know why you don't like it.

Enough. Just ignore him.
