I love the absurdity of game reviewers 😂
-
“This game is the pinnicle of its genre”
-
“This is the 1 game I would bring to a desert island”
-
“one of the most captivating puzzle games ever”
85%, 88%, 70%, a C to a B. That is just above average.
Meanwhile you get an absolute broken AAA piece of crap that barely functions, incoherant story, generic and boring and those same reviewers say “70-80%”. So there is a <10% difference between absolutely mastering a genre and releasing straight garbage?

IGN and its consequences have been a disaster for video game journalism.
"This game barely works. I had multiple game-breaking bugs during the tutorial. The art style is ugly, the music is annoying, the gameplay is generic and not fun at all, the graphics stutter constantly, and it tried to make me drink a can of mountain dew in camera to verify my purchase. We give it a 7… point 1.
