Not really, I can't imagine anyone was expecting this to be in the 80-90% range based on the first game and the recent lack of polish in their games. As long as it stays above red I think it's not a "low" scope for the title, sort of like Kirby on switch getting a 73, no one was expecting botw/Odyssey scores there in reality. It's expectedly middle of the road if that makes sense. |
Not shocking but still kind of surprising. The studio now has a lot more capital thanks to sales of the first game and signing a much touted contract with Microsoft. They've also had a long development period to build on what they learned from the first game.
I think it was reasonable to expect a leap in quality.
Now I'm wondering if this IP is actually kind of on cruise control because they know people will buy it, while they focus their attention on the other projects. I know they were talking about an MMO at one point, which makes me wonder if they're on Microsoft's GaaS bandwagon.
