Glowing praise from journalists and middling scores from youtube reviewers... Same exact situation as Veilguard even down to Mortisimal glazing it.

It's gonna be awful isnt it

[–] anakin78z@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ooo, I loved Veilguard, so maybe I'll love this, too.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Same, I really enjoyed Veilgaurd and actually finished the damn thing, which is rare for me these days. It wasn't perfect, but it was a good, breezy arpg.
