I think that in a vacuum the game isn’t that bad, but given the context of how much it costs, how long it’s been in development, being hailed as the first “AAAA game”, and the fact that they literally made a better version of this game 11 years ago and the game is only mediocre I totally understand why this game has gotten the reaction it has.
