It just wasn’t the game people wanted it to be, in a vacuum it’s realistically a solid gameplay experience, with some glaring caveats, and had it not come from the same developers as the Spider-Man games I don’t think it would be getting shit on nearly as much. The biggest issue is the kids gloves approach they took with the gameplay, some sections are just cut scenes that you can pretend to interact with, but outside of that the game is alright and the writing is pretty good.
Comment on Please!!!

Is the game bad?

Is it great no. Is it entertaining to me. Yes. I’m 41 and sometimes I like a game that I can just sit and slice shit up without having to be challenged a lot. It’s relaxing sometimes. I really don’t see it much different than spider-man. Spider-man was easy as fuck too. Most people bitching haven’t played the game and parrot YouTube video critics.
When it’s much cheaper and on PlayStation plus, you’re gonna see more people saying it’s not that bad of a game.

What i heard is it’s not bad, but really really mediocre and boring.

“Boring” is one of the worst things an interactive entertainment product could be

Right? Sounds pretty bad to me.

From what I can tell, it’s not great, it’s got middling bones. But overall the themes of death and rebirth and Logan losing his way are interestingly explored. For a 12-15 hour story with gameplay that handholds you incessantly, but does have some interesting things to say occasionally, I’d say it’s a great game to grab on a mega sale.

Yup

More importantly for the execs: how did it sell?

It doesn’t seem like a game so much as a movie where you can optionally press buttons. The button pressing doesn’t do anything; the game plays itself.

This sounds like an exaggeration, but a Twitch streamer got up and made a cup of coffee during a big motorcycle chase segment. His character was literally bouncing off of cars and guardrails on the highway, and he still finished the chase segment successfully. Literally didn’t touch the controller at all, and still finished it.

You got the VOD link?

I think there actually is a place for that kind of experience … but a AAA game you paid big money for isn’t it.

As one who had PS+ for a couple years and only bought like 3 games because I tried them on PS+: I feel that.
