I don't mind if they come to that conclusion based on real stuff - like bugs (which I'm hoping day 1.2 patch will fix) and when they make statements like 'climbing was a great part of Zero Dawns experience', I have to wonder if they even played the game given it was the single biggest request to improve. The more you give the more you have to guide, all you did in zero dawn was look for the yellow fabric on a rock.
Usually if you don't have to use more than one or two weapons, that's the game telling you to crank up the difficulty. I'm not arsed about the metascore but half arsed reviews like this are nothing. These were the harshest criticism to take away 4.5 points?
