@KingChiliPepper @KingChiliPepper But in that case, you don’t write the review from a single outlier with a strong opinion.
What’s jarring is the disconnect here: this take assumes everyone basically agrees Metroid Prime 4 is merely “good enough” (if not outright bad), while ignoring that the very same site previously called it excellent.
Because let’s be honest for two seconds: whether you love or dislike Metroid Prime 4, most people would agree that calling it excellent is the outlier take—not saying it’s just barely adequate. Does that review writer still believe it is excellent still, by the way? I would love to know …
The write-up still feels delusional about this flop.
If it’s “just good enough,” why give it a 9/10 (“excellent”) last month? You’re already saying it’s barely okay after only a few weeks. At this rate, you’ll probably be calling it a complete disappointment by next year.
And it’s not even “good enough.” Objectively, it’s a tasteless, bland game—creatively bankrupt.
