I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
Might be the case.
I tried Watch Dogs 2 and dropped it after 45 minutes, not to be seen ever again.
I didn't feel I had to complete a bad game because I didn't pay for it.
I just jump to the next game.

What time is it?
100% for me. Games don't have long to grab and hold my attention, even less so if there is minimal monetary investment in them.

I don't think I've ever seen a game with review scores that literally range from 1 to 10.
That's all fine, but that is your own personal assessment of value. You didn't need a review to make that assessment for you. For those potentially buying the game on Steam, your assessment doesn't apply. The same is true for every review that caters its opinion in favor of Game Pass. No, games should be reviewed as a game. Let everyone else figure out value on their own, just as you have done.

I take this back.
Oh, Snap! I knew I should have given Ratchet and Clank 1/10 instead of 7/10 when I got a game breaking bug and had to replay a level.

Final Words -
"There is really not much to complain when it comes to Scorn. My only real gripe is that the adventure is over a bit too soon. If you are decent at solving puzzles and good at figuring stuff out quickly then you can get through this horror of a journey in roughly four to six hours with five most likely being the average length that it would take to beat the game. However, what you are going to experience in these four to six hour is nothing but pure quality, out of this world atmosphere, a ton of disturbing and gross moments and most importantly just a fantastic experience overall. If you are into games that is filled with exploration, discovery, cleverness, patience, immersion and a lot of jaw-dropping moments then Scorn will be right up your alley. To sum it up, I need a sequel as soon as possible.
Although, I must be transparent here that Scorn is not for everyone. If you are not into getting your brain teased or you do not like getting easily lost and you find the lack of a radar map frustrating then this game might not be up your alley It's also worth mentioning that the pacing is quite slow, and if you are looking for more of an action horror-survival title then this game is 100% not for you and I suggest you look elsewhere. I however, love a variety of horror games and as long as the game is well designed in what its trying to accomplish then I am all for it.
I personally fell in love with this game from the beginning and all the way to the end. I think its designed very well and you could tell it was beautifully hand-crafted with lots of labor of love and soul in terms of its art, audio, level design and gameplay systems. Scorn was designed with a clear goal in mind - which was to create a believable, disturbing but yet interesting and horrific world with clever puzzle mechanics and unique ideas that is being begged to be explored and it sure has achieved the primary objective. With that being said Scorn will be receiving a final verdict of a masterpiece that is 10 out of 10. Kepler Interactive thank you for supporting Ebb Software on their journey in creating this magnificent experience for the horror fans, now please tell them to go back to work and make a sequel after they are done celebrating."

They are saying the puzzles are terrible because they are most likely too stupid too figure them out. I enjoyed the puzzles. I didn't have any problems lol.
Follow your heart, play the game and make your own judgement.

I will play this weekend .
Seems to be my kind of atmosphere.
I just hope it’s not too frustrating, a lot of reviews are talking about punitive checkpoints.

Fair enough. As we said in our review it's not a game for everyone. I just can't stand it when people complain in such a way when they didn't even give it a shot or just want to be part of the cool kids club. (NO, not talking about you specifically)

Do developers post on this site like on era? If so can you let them know the series x would be perfect for uncapped vrr support (I highly suspect it would average in the 80-90s uncapped)

I guess twitter would be the easiest way to reach out to them.

It looks like you're playing a lower bitrate YouTube video in comparison to native.If anyone ever wondered what a screenshot of an xcloud game looks on an iphone, I got you covered:

Loading it up and I'm instantly in love with the boot screen. It's like some classic early 90s pc game box artwork.

Yea, I mean don’t get me wrong it looks fantastic and the puzzles were tough but I just wasn’t feeling it, I may give it another look at some point
Slicker than your average

I knew this was going to be shit but not this bad. 5 hours of garbage gameplay.
Another winner for gamepass

I wouldn’t say it’s ridiculous.
Developers have given us reasons over the years not to trust them. Release day review embargoes make me a little suspicious.
I think it’s generally done to avoid losing preorders, because there’s some aspect they’re afraid players won’t like.
In the case of Scorn, reviews absolutely put me off a purchase.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
You or in the game though?There's a lot of inserting fingers/hands into weird pulsating holes

I’m conflicted, it does have an intriguing and fairly unique (in terms of games anyway) visual style.
But it also looks really quite dull and tedious, I can see myself getting bored of it well before the credits roll. It looks like a fairly solid game, but definitely an acquired taste.
Eh, it’s on gamepass so I’ll give it a whirl, but I can absolutely see it sitting firmly in the “appreciate more than enjoy” category.

I think you'll enjoy the atmosphere and learn to appreciate it. Scorn is more of an experience. To be quite frank though, I think it would have been better received if it was a dedicated VR title from the ground up.
Otherwise, we run into a situation where you either love it or hate it similar to how Death Stranding was just as polarizing.

For a small studio, especially as their first game, the game is technologically amazing.
The rendering and materials quality is top tier.

not surpised with the mixed score. it was bound to have that due to the meatiness of it.

Yeah, I’ll definitely give it a whirl.
But I have the attention span of a 5 year old with any kind of media these days, those just so much content to work through that if I’m not entertained within an hour or so I’ll just move on.
Life’s too short and all that!
But I’ll definitely give it a try, why not eh?

Now that The Medium is coming to PS+ Extra, I was going to play it some just to find out how full of shit people were back then.
