I tried it as well and just couldn't get into it multiple times. To be fair I only played as Nero but it just never felt that good to play. I much prefer action games that give you edge of the seat risk vs reward systems for partying or dodging over racking up long combo chains
FF7Remake, Bloodborne, SF5, Returnal and Ghosts of Tsushima are some examples of media bias for me
You should try get further in the game, it gets better with Dante. There are three playable characters.
V was the worst, he keeps his distance whilst you use these spirit animals to attack, annoying tbh as you have to keep him at a distance whilst also attacking at the same time. They were trying something diffrent but just didn't work for me.
Nero was better, but his combat felt a bit limited, especially his combos.
But as always dantes multiple combat styles and combo variety outshines the other 2.
Oh if we are talking about Nero then yeah, understandable!
But Vergil is incredible to play in the special edition.

Yeah maybe my issue is just with Nero. But I couldn't even be bothered grinding through that
Not sure why they do the multiple character thing, DMC1 and 3 never needed it
Just think if astro's playroom came as a pack-in game for the switch. It would be the first 100 rated game in history.
Prologue section unlocks a section later in the story which is all gameplay.

Ghost of Tsushima and Days Gone is the only one there way off what it should have reviewed at.
Most of the time they are just incompetent following trends and trying to look cleverer than they actually are. Like panning every open world game not named Zelda or the sheer amount of bad reviews Days Gone got for having a white male lead
Media bias is more evident in things like Skyward Sword reviewing so highly. Or Forza games reviewing highly but then GT comes around and the same reviewers are like "Sim racer? Puts me to sleep

Agreed, but I still think my semi shill theory is right too lol
yeah, Bloodborne easily their best performance by sizeable margin.

Oh Im aware of that, Im just saying the gameplay Ive experienced so far has been pretty straight forward. Looks to be really strong on visuals and settings. At times the cutscenes look pre rendered IMO. But, you can't even run around and talk to townspeople unless it's someone they want you to talk to. At least so far. It also seems to really want to be Game of Thrones from what I can tell haha. I think it will rate highly but I don't think it's going to be some kind of revelation based on playing the demo so far.

Games that take some risk and reinvent their own wheel successfully tend to get rewarded by critics for doing so. RE4, GOW 2018, BOTW, MGS5, Uncharted 2 come to mind..
Hoping to finally break the recent upper 80's curse for PS exclusives... So going with a 91.
It's already Game of The Year, so why not.
