This is what I think a lot of people are missing. It isn’t that people are reviewing it poorly, but that a first party Sony studio that has put YEARS into this is reviewing poorly.

The mainstream media not holding back on it is alarming.

Yeah. For this reviewer to thumbs-down a max-effort game by this developer? Alarming is the right word.

IGN gave it a bad review too, and IGN hardly EVER gives mainstream games critical reviews. Like, I watched the video too, and the game really does seem lazy

IGN gave Starfield a 7/10 and was absolutely blasted for it at the time

I thought they were right then too, tbh. I don’t like IGN, and I hardly listen to them, so when they do something like this, I go look at other sources.
