Maybe they shouldn't play it then?

When i know i will dislike the core gameplay and mechanics i will not procede to play the game, not to mention do a review. If i had to review a sportsgame i'd try to be objective, but in the end i will give it a subjective score, because i don't have the experience with the sort of games, no tengible reference. So what other choice do i have but to give the score i see fitting. A rating way below average, because i dislike sportsgames.

But i must say, i don't mind the controversy. It creates the drama, keeps the buzz up. Console business how it's done. To make the games really matter.

Nobody really knew what the core gameplay would be in the end...

What?! Everybody knew! It was the tenor of the last couple of month leading up to the release. With details about the gameplay and how the world you traverse through is structered. Impossible to miss when you followed the news, watched gameplay videos.

However, im not doubting people were unsure if they would be into this kind of game. There isn't really anything comparable, a "tangible reference". I myself am uncertain if a game with "hiking simulation" at its core is for me. Never became a fan of walking simulators or Shadow otC. I like playing the SotC remake from time to time though. 

Add: An explanation to why the wide range of ratings.

Offtopic: FGS, writing a comment (via phone) on this website is becoming worse and worse.
