Ouch. That’s terrible. 5.6 user review score, and I skimmed them: it’s not just a bunch of 0 scores, it’s a lot of people giving 4-6, saying that the more they played, the less they enjoyed. The most common criticism was a fundamental lack of risk taking from Bethesda. They promised an experience like none other, but just delivered yet another iteration on the same game they’ve been making since Oblivion. That was very much the impression I got from the game based on the trailers, and why I was never enthusiastic about this one.
I’ll amend my initial statement. Instead of waiting for this game to hit $35, I’ll check it out for $10 in a few years. It’s not like I don’t have an abundance of amazing games to play right now. Between BG3 and AC6, I’m very happy.
