Oh no, is it gonna be another game that loses points for not being "innovative" or "revolutionary" enough? That's the absolute WORST complaint you can have about a game, what the hell is up with this obsession with "innovation"? Give me a break.

It pisses me off to no end.


The obsession with innovation is about not wanting to play through the same experience over and over again.  It's about expecting developers to continuously improve over time.  We rate games within the context of the medium.  After playing through a slew of open world games, it's going to be hard for one to leave an impression without doing something new.

But the game isn't the same experience. It looks completely different from every other open world game. It's way different than say another mario game that still gets great scores. Countless examples like that exist in the industry.
