Let's try this again. The price of a game does not correspond to its quality. There is no correlation between how much a game costs and its review scores.

 

It's silly to suggest that we can't expect an inexpensive game to review well because we see inexpensive games do so all the time.

The price can refer to a games quality. Why is a game cheap to begin with? Clearly its lacking something and not always the scope of it either.

Yes some games turn out amazing and some games are trash. Thats the gamble in this industry.

If you think the price is always based on the scope of the game than thats your view on it. Iv played some pretty cheap games that have alot of scope to them.

But you're arguing that we shouldn't expect an inexpensive game to review well which is clearly nonsense because so many inexpensive games do.

 

It's especially nonsensical considering that a lot of reviews will take into account the amount of investment the player is expected to make when scoring a game. Cuphead would have reviewed worse if it were $60, as would many other less expensive games because the size and scope of those games and their budgets are reflected in their price.

 

If anything, this game being $29.99 should have helped it's reviews, not hurt them. The only reason this game isn't reviewing well is because reviewers don't seem to be enjoying it.
