The first game was trash. Why would you have high expectations for the sequel?

It will be appreciated more when it’s released on real hardware.

cowshit is a joke but games journalism is even more of a joke tbh. Just think of how lame the “normal” media is.

Imo when western devs have like 800 employees, 100 of them are strategic useless fag hires who are Extroverted Losers who liaise and buddy up with "game journalists." This is why gamergate happened. Journalists intertwined with shitty western devs. Gamespot gave Assassins Creed Shadows an 8/10 ffs. Ubisoft employs homosexuals who have gay sex with game journalists imo. Kojima doesn't understand any of this shit, and if anything he's currying favor with the Emperor in order to influence Famitsu.

Oh wow perfect score from the Irish Independent and Wapo

Also why are there nine (9) IGNs spamming review scores? Nine different ign reviews

The 1st one is in my backlog. I remember it getting mocked then widely praised later. I think it was a free game.

Bad review scores from westerners is a contrarian indicator.

I don't trust the English-language gaming press at all. They're all content mills now. I'd advise going on /v/ and gauging sentiment there. If a game gets a lot of threads and the posts are at least evenly divided between positive and negative, it's probably a good game.

Is this game basically an inventory management and walking simulator?
