Alright, so recently I try to stay out of any threads related to products that I work on for very obvious reasons. However, I sorta knew this would be about ReCore from the title.
I really don't want to sit here and post about this back and forth all night, but I really do think he has a point even if it's not conveyed well IMO. It wasn't a huge title that was getting some hundred million dollar marketing campaign, and I really do think that lack of hype train means certain reviewers are just going to nitpick and drop the score down for arbitrary reasons that would be overlooked in other cases.
I will be the first to admit that there were plenty of bugs with the game (most of which the team has already addressed and fixed) and that some design decisions such as gating content at the end will frustrate a sub-section of players.
However, I just don't understand how certain other buggy games get through with full 90-100 marks such as a certain post-apocalyptic sequel that hit this generation.
I am personally invested in this product so I know I am biased, but I never really expected so many outlets to give it 40-60 scores.
