Is it any surprise? Any game that's more popular gets a lot more contrarians.

    Also CO is wildly recommended and not for everyone. Like, I love it immensely, I'm still early in and it's feeding hungers I've not realized I have in fantasy and video games, but it's dark, extremely French, artsy, and is a turn based game with skill dodge/parry as a major mechanic. There are going to be people who pick it up because goty, then don't like it because of what it is, just like BG3 had.

    Everyone I've recommended CO to and took me up on it -- loved it. But I have other friends that have heard me talk about the game and I just "know" it's not for them and if they play, they'll be ranting about the mechanisms and other things.

    For me, it made me wish I was French :P I love the aesthetic, story, and characters for sure. It's different than FF to me because it seemed like FF got embarrassed by its turn-based gameplay over time and it feels like CO embraced it fully.

    Also, I heard the fanbase can be rather toxic as well. Once again, that sometimes happens with more popular games too. I was watching a few streamers that said they'd want to put it as their GOTY but some fans were just doing a lot of bullying. After playing the game, I understand their passion for it ... but it can sour other people's expectations and experiences for sure.
