The style is a huge red flag for me... I don't think "woah cool rubber hose animation" I think "oh, another hyper-styled game with no actual game". Negative reviews confirmed this fear.

    The reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Out of nearly 2,000 reviews less than 100 are negative at all.

    And?

    The negative reviews confirmed my fears, it's a shallow game covered in style.

    Get comfortable with people not liking everything you automatically like, that's how preferences work.

    Ahh so you're just looking for things that confirm your superficial opinion and not look beyond that.

    Yes, because apparently you lack any form of ability to think and/or comprehend what you read.

    As I've said right from the start of my comment chain, I want games that have gameplay, I do not look to style.

    I don't know why you're having such trouble handling this. Get a grip.

    This game has both gameplay and style. The high amounts of positive reviews prove, definitively, that it has both gameplay and style.

    What you have done is cherry picking, a logical fallacy.

    Now, if you don't like the style or the kind of first person shooter game this is, well... Those are subjective matters. But you're not talking in subjective terms; you're saying there is no, or a lack of, gameplay. And that is simply put objectively wrong.

    it's a shallow game covered in style.

    That’s not a preference, and there doesn’t appear to be any evidence that it’s even true. I don’t like or dislike the game, you’ve just made a determination about the game based on literally nothing while all available evidence we do have (the reviews) indicate the opposite.

    I read the reviews which confirmed that it's a stylish game with not a lot of skill or deep mechanics. Learn to read.

    Hello, i put so far 10 hours into the game and i like it a lot. But you are correct. The style and setting is immaculate. But the gameplay just isnt. It has tons of little issues because they crammed to many mechanics into the game while none of them truly shine. Its alright. But it isnt deep or needs a lot of skill. I'm more than happy with a vibes based game where the gameplay stimulates me just enough while looking forward to progess the story further. But your assessment is just correct. If i leave out the artstyle, setting and story of the equation its a 6/10 game. Maybe 7/10 at best because you could argue it still feels better than the sum of its parts. For me its a 9/10 but i like vibes and you never said i'm not allowed to have that opinion. idk what going on here.

    Style > "Realistic Graphics" If you're judging a game on just graphical style you're going to think a lot of gems are shit.
