Heh. Don't even have to wait for the review to know how he feels about it.
"If there was ever a game to validate having a GameFly subscription, this seems like it."
"I urge you, Until Dawn kids: Don't go on that winter getaway. It seems like a lot of fun, but it won't be. It's not all drinking and partying and sexing."
That second quote seems more like a warning to the reading audience than a warning to the fictional characters of the game.
I don't know, seems pretty lighthearted to me, at least in terms of the article text. It's written to convey a sense of foreboding through an almost sarcastic delivery. No positives or negatives to glean without stretching for it.
The author also makes it clear right in the article that he isn't the one playing it or reviewing it, so there's little reason to suspect thinly-veiled subliminal hate towards the game for the readers to pick up on.
It's been a while since I read Destructoid (like, five or six years), so how cohesive their new writing team is and how much they agree with one another in terms of reviews, I don't know. I do agree with the tone of the author in the comments, though-- and perhaps that's why the article comes across differently considering.
I'm not really expecting it to review that well across the board either way, but outside of widely-reported technical issues or glaring, universally-recognized faults, I won't really take reviews into consideration regardless.
