I have grown to not trust gaming websites or gaming journalists at all. And when I say at all I mean at all. Yes sometimes they gush after a game that turns out being good, and sometimes they hate on a game that is actually great. So I will do what I always do now and wait for user reviews when I am still in doubt.
Having said that I sincerely hope Ready at Dawn has been listening to all the criticism their game has received since the start of this year. They have had ample time to make it "more fun" or whatever unless they have a much larger vision than anything they have shown anyone and believe what we haven't seen is enough to win us over.
Personally, if I were them, I would just make the game much harder. Making a game hard is a good way to take simplistic game design and yet make the game feel much better. And by harder I mean i hit from hybrid = game over. 3 shots from human weapons = game over. That oughtta shut people up...
