That has to be from nostaliga.

I actually think it's the opposite, some of the lower scores are from nostalgia.

So there is no physical of this game? Would not most people who would be fans of this be retro gamers who collect? Why would MS not put out a disc version?

From what I know it was threated as Indie.

Seems pretty promising. At least worth checking out for Game Pass users. Hope it gets a physical release at some point.
Microsoft seems to be giving Xbox One a solid send-off. Starting with the brilliant Gears 5 last September, we have seen Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Grounded and Battletoads. Tell me Why will release over the next month, Gears Tactics and Microsoft Flight Simulator ports are also expected soon.

A few are Xbox sites, I don't think a lot.

I always check what the big websites give it, a 80 from IGN.

Gamespot gave it a 6, but their written review seemed more positive. Basically he wanted more content and enjoyed the game. Also, he complained about the comedy but that's subjective.

Last, the user reviews on Steam so far are "Mostly Positive."

So my conclusion is this is an above average game, which is great news considering the poor reception before it released.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
