I gave up on trusting review years ago. At best, I'll read 3-5 reviews for glaring problems that everyone notes, but if it comes down to calling a game "boring" or complaining about visual quality, I won't care about the review. User reviews are actually the worst, particularly on Metacritic. That place is FULL of platform trolls, going both ways.
I saw one clown who rated this game a 4/10 and called it "banal." I went to his other reviews, and they were rating KI Season 2 a 0/10, rating Halo 5 a 4/10 (and calling it "banal" as well), then giving SFV and a couple of other Sony exclusives 10/10. In fact, going through there again, I see his review was taken down, so he made another that is just 4 lines, repeating: "only 7 hours. The story is banal and gameplay idem"
Some other reviews from obvious trolls...
0/10: "720p/30fps in 2016 . . . I'm sellinf XONE right now and going to by PS4"
0/10: "5 hours . . . 720p"
3/10: "bad execution like Defiance, but not as interesting as Defiance"
The complaints about length are likely absurd. I've heard anywhere from 5-10 hours, and I'll be the people throwing out the 7-hour tears are either playing on Easy or parroting people who did. IF you're tearing through a game without any challenge, complaining it is short is moronic.
One thing I'll say is kind of a point I expected to see complained about: After people railed on The Order for being short and more of a movie than a game, we've arrived at a game with 22-minute TV shows between each chunk of gameplay. I guess this still might be twice as long as The Order, but I kind of expected more jokes/complaints about how this isn't enough of a game.
