Replaying this big dumb open world action FPS game while waiting for Atomic Heart and Resi 4 Remake.
Critics should be ashamed of how they reviewed this. Bland open world? You mean the open world where there are activities to do every 100m and each one is, importantly, FUN to do because Avalanche nailed the traversal, shooting, driving, rewarding upgrades & abilities, combat audio/visual feedback, and car combat? Get outta here.
Avalanche are severely underrated and the second they release a critic-pandering game that shoehorns a story forcing the player to "reconsider what it means to be a Capital G Gamer in 20XX", critics will suddenly realize they've been missing out.
