Metro Game Central usually eats games like this up, while giving an extremely low score to anything that without mainstream appeal, like JRPGs. And yet, even they hated this game. o.0

I have to wonder, is Microsoft releasing these games like sea of thieves and state of decay knowing they weren't ready because they really believe in the Rainbow Six treatment with their games as a service thing, so in the long run they don't think the way these games will launch will hinder it in the future. 

Both these games were meant to be always online type of experiences. So it would make sense that they launch these games a little sooner than normal only to make review scores obsolete by updating the game over years. Nintendo did the same strategy with Splatoon and it worked. The difference is that Splatoon was a good game at launch, and eventually became an amazing game with updates. SoT, and SoD2 are sub-par games, that might become decent with updates. But will MS charge for those updates, or make them free like Nintendo did with Splatoon? 

All DLC for Sea of Thieves will be free.

State of Decay 2 is filled to the brim with content for a 30 dollar game, if they can patch out all the bugs and give the game more polish, it should be fine. The content DLC's for the game are paid, if I recall correctly.
