Please don't tell me you were expecting a 95 on metacritic?Worse reviews than I expected, but I'm still interested.

With this logic, then all $5 games should be awesome. Thinking like that, a reviewer should give a low priced game extra points cause it was $2 or $5...
I liked axiom verge better than Fallout 4, neither was worth their respective launch prices in the first place.
I bought FO4 when it was $20 and AV when it was 10..
Fallout gives me more bang for my buck, as it being a longer game, but I bought it at a 3rd of the price while I waited till axiom was half the price. I still like AV better.
You could even see it as I paid more for axiom verge because it was bought at only half the price versus a third, and being a shorter game.
Price should not have bearing on a review. It's either a good game or not. How's a reviewer supposed to gauge price fairly if most get the game free anyway?
Reviews are very good.
The gamespot review is definitely a strange one though.

Boy what I would do to see Maximo Ghosts to Glory remade.....I would love to see the critical reception for it in the late 2010's.Crash still holds up today....and if your a dark souls person who decries easy games that hold your hand, you'll really enjoy crash 1
it still haunts me
Serious, non-baiting question: Why is the Metascore so high for what is essentially a PS1 game(s) with new models? I never played Crash as a kid, and looking up videos for the remaster (no idea which game in the trilogy it was) I was seriously turned off by the giant item UI that kept popping up and the very close behind-the-back camera, both of which feel completely out of their era. For the genre, the reviews and the price I would ordinarily be interested, but it just didn't look good to me. Is it mostly a nostalgia buy, or does the gameplay actually hold up against modern 3D platformers? Does the whole game look like the section I watched?

You're missing my point.
Review the game on its own merits, not on the price point. Then at the end mention if its worth the price of admission or not.
First decide if its a good game or not, then decide if its worth the asking price.

Sorry for butting in, but I think you mean like ACG reviews. Doesn't even use a grading scale, but clearly explains whether the price point is justified or not.
uhhh 3 games at an average time of 6-7 hours each for $40 is not enough content? K.For those complaining about GameReactor's "not enough content" complaint, I asked the reviewer about it. This is what he said.

Crash is a good to great series of platforming games. I don't know what
section you watched, but that much is true
Because its a good to great trilogy.
Watching videos only tell half the story.
Alright, I think I will have to take a closer look at this one.The 3D sections of Crash play in a style closer to 2D, actually. You're generally moving more or less in one direction either toward or away from the screen. The level design is very linear, but generally tightly-packed with jumps and obstacles. They're fun games if you're looking for a straightforward test of skill, rather than anything to do with exploration.
I thought I made it pretty clear that I was genuinely asking. And this whole thread is people commenting on how particular reviews are unreadably bad, lol.Read the reviews and make your own inferences. You're not doing your "non-baiting" question any favors here by taking the same stance trolls have taken since the announcement of this game.

This is completely moronic, 40$ for 3 remastered game = not enough content? What?...

That's 21 hours. It took me over 300 to beat The Witcher 3 and experience everything in the base game. Yes, it is an apples to oranges comparison (rpg vs platformer) but that is the logic that reviewer is using, I assume.

Maybe he didn't know it was three games? The box art doesn't really make it clear.This is completely moronic, 40$ for 3 remastered game = not enough content? What?...
Most games don't take 20 hours, nor should they all have to be designed to do so. This compilation is an awesome value, the reviewers who think otherwise are simply idiots.
Seriously, it's 13 dollars per game fully remade, when usually a simple HD port runs way more for ANY game.
What engine is this running on?
Price is a huge factor for everyday consumers and if you don't include a content-to-value judgment at the launch price in your review you are totally out of touch, period.
i don't think there was any logic being used at allAnd he said it barely scrapes the level of content that the average "modern game" has.
...but the average "modern game" is $60, whereas this collection is $40.
I don't really see his logic there.
Maybe he didn't know it was three games? The box art doesn't really make it clear.
