Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER (XS) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "There were several different ways Midboss could've approached this sequel, likely all of which would've been better than Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER. As a mechanically-light point-n-click/visual novel, each gameplay conceit feels vapidly implemented and stale. As a brighter cyberpunk tale, it's one told with little sense of earnest conviction or connection; in fact, it's better served as a test case about writing pitfalls (context, conclusion, sermonizing, "...and then this happened" story beats) than as a story proper. It's akin to a picture book where the colorful illustrations are the only reason to keep turning the page."

Won’t be missed. Xbox sucks at marketing in this industry. This is badly needed.

I see Xbox stuff everywhere. On cereal boxes, toasters and fridges.. Xbox just sucks.

Unfortunately, Xbox has not done great with marketing this generation. One thing I found odd is that he is leaving Xbox for Roblox. I'm not sure how big Roblox is in comparison to Xbox but I can't imagine him getting better compensation from there. Perhaps he was forced out?

It's simple, Roblox is profitable.

DivineHand1251h ago

@fr0sty Would you leave your place of employment to work somewhere else for less pay just because that business is profitable?

You would have to be a special person to be ok with that.

That, or he is pulling an Elop.
