You can’t teach an old game new tricks
Can reviews of old games become inaccurate or ‘wrong’ as the medium evolves?
The PC version of this game has a very positive 89/100 on Metacritic (based on 32 reviews). Fans like it even more, with some 249 ratings bestowing an average score of 9.1/10, yet this is one of the worst games I’ve played recently. The level design is bland, the AI is unfair, the difficulty is too high and the story arc is unbalanced. While there are glimpses of good writing and a few innovative ideas, it still pales in comparison to nearly every other video game today.
