That's odd - the IGN review gave it an 8.6 and said it was around 15 hours to complete, as well as being very atmospheric/engrossing and that the narrative branch changes significantly based on what skills you focus on for your main character and that the story kept him really engaged.
Well this is the first time I’ve ever heard of IGN being wrong , maybe they plagiarized their review from someone that didn’t actually play the game because it was a 6/10 at best .
Not disagreeing with you, but in your opinion, what are some of the better sites/sources/streamers for reviews?
ACG on YouTube is probably the best video reviewer. Otherwise I just use metacritic or no reviews at all.
I honestly don’t know how ACG gets through as many games as he does, especially with his reviews running longer than most of the mainstream gaming outlets. If I had to keep that sort of pace, I would be burned out in a matter of months. Great for those of us looking for the hot take though.
Karak (ACG) is fantastic. Not sure what his background is but in addition to the reviews of the games themselves he has some legit understanding of sound processing and graphic effects/systems, to say nothing of his incredible idioms.
did you play it?
I watched a dude play through it and thought it was rather interesting. He made some choices I wouldn't have but I thought it was interesting enough for a purchase to see the other outcomes. On top of that I had $10 in bing rewards, so for just under $22 I think it is worth it.
