Despite the controversy and the rather disappointing metacritic score,
I’m still really looking forward to this game
i would say 72 average on opencritic is quite great for 90s 3d platformer homage game , expected much much worse scores from mainstream media who are under the impression that this genre is dead and unnecessary in 2017
As much as I love this genre and want a revival, everything I have seen has been underwhelming. The world looks and feels empty, the VA is really annoying (it sounds like Banjo Kazooie, if you put it through a blender. The reliance on hard grunts rather than odd noises is incredibly grating), and the camera is apparently appalling (which is an integral part of 3D platformers!). Even the writing is sub-par from many reviewers, both fans and “professional”.
Visually it’s stunning. The soundtrack is gorgeous. But riding on a nostalgia feeling can only carry a game so far.
And frankly, a revisit of a 90s style game will not cause a revival. There needs to be some form of progress that interests people to keep playing. You can only play the same thing so many times.
seen the reviews, gotta say i’m skipping this one
