Not to shit on the game, because it's 'good' but I legitimately think it's a prime example of how hype/expectations influence reviews. The fact this was a shadow drop helped it tremendously critically, especially the time it did it. If this was revealed a year or so ago and we had seen multiple trailers and it had a hype cycle then I can't see it getting these 9s cause it's honestly a very basic game. From a level design point it is honestly nearly multiple generation old design. Very linear which is cool but then all combat is practically small designated 'combat' zones and waves followed by
