I'm curious to see if it's really that good. I've been replaying the original trilogy in 'preparation' and I feel kind of sad that they'll never fully realize the potential of that kind of gameplay, but I also agree that after 6 games in that vein and still no masterpieces (imo), the series needed a new direction.

I'm really on the fence, but I'll be getting it day one to see for myself

Well...if you honestly believe that there's no masterpiece among the previous gow games, you will probably be disappointed by this one as well.

Consider your own taste first and the scores later. I was personally disappointed by botw and odyssey. I've never been a big fan of those games, but the amazing reviews led me to buy both. It's not like I thought they were bad, I just...couldn't comprehend how they managed to score so well despite having some serious shortcomings (imho). Same thing for GTA games. I bought GTA4 because of the reviews and I couldn't even finish it, it was just so boring to me.

You're absolutely right, reviews can be really decieving.

About the 'no masterpiece' part, I guess I could've explained a little better. I AM a fan of the original trilogy, but to me they are 8/10 games.
