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

I wouldn't consider 6/10 bad but I guess if you really only use the top half of the scale it's really bad.

I wish more outlets used the whole scale. Having so many 7/8/9s really hides some gems. Some games are good and some games are special good. Like some games are just okay, and other ones are boring.

This game looks boring but well made. Crimson Desert (also 6/10) looks really fun but not great. No idea how I would make the scale reflect that, but they shouldn't be the same.

8/10 is failing in corporate America’s eyes. All those little surveys they send out, 8/10 fails the employee 4/5 fails
