Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Quote The Good The skeleton and core loops of a great survival game are here Miniaturist aesthetic and relative scale design makes for a golden scenario An arachnophobia mode helps ease the horror of giant spiders The Bad Threadbare story content leaves you wanting more The survival loop is a bit too easy to manage in its current state The game world feels small thanks to fast character speed, but it's still easy to get turned around in I can't believe how many spiders there are https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/grounded-early-access-review-little-acorns/1900-6417521/ MS just can't catch a break edit: bwahaha just noticed that they listed the arachnophobia mode as a positive. Reviewer must have been desperate to fill the positive list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,084 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Since when are Early Access games reviewed? You're reviewing a beta basically... The incompetence of this website knows no bounds. Edited August 1, 2020 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The incompetence of this website knows no bounds. They’re charging $30 for this ‘beta’. Like anything else that a consumer has to pay for, it is going to be open to reviews/criticism.

When has this website ever reviewed an Early Access game? When have they reviewed a beta? Never... You don't review them because they're an incomplete product. They haven't gone gold, they have no RC, they're not yet a retail product. They're pay to access development builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,041 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Sea of Thieves was pretty much early access and it got reviewed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It had a RC, it went gold, it was released at retail as a "1.0" final game. It being added to comes with the territory of the design but that is not the same as something which hasn't been 'finished'. Grounded is legitimately in beta, this was a boneheaded move.

Early access isn't an excuse for them to churn out a glorified prototype and then charge people $30 for it. They will rightfully be open to criticism with a move like that.

Calling it "early access" is just their way of trying to get away from criticism for releasing crap. If you charge for it it should be reviewed. It's shit and another Xflop.
