Polygon really publish this joke of review. If you're not enthusiastic about playing a 100 hour video game... Maybe don't take review job.

Yeah 16 was a complete bait and switch

That game is ass, and I REALLY wanted to like it
I wouldn't go as far as to say it was ass but it felt undercooked in terms of the gameplay. There should have been more variety when it came to the combat. You can't have an action game where the the main character has only one weapon (Sword). They need to have multiple weapons/styles to switch up the flow.

Plus the side quests were shyt.

16 was definitely disappointing but at the end of the day it's a 8/10 game if you take the good with the bad.

Having final fantasy difficulty from the beginning would've made it a much more enjoyable experience.

Outside of persona 5, agree to disagree. Almost all those games have pacing problems just as bad as XVI, you can throw XBC3 in there as well
All those games are better jrpgs than 16,outside of graphics 16 doesn't beat any of those in story, gameplay and engagement.

or better skip all the optional open world content and just play through the story.

100%, incredibly hard to keep an above 90 average these days with 120+ reviews
credit to the developers putting out a great product. people on reddit have been crapping on Spider-Man 2, and i'll never get it. You gotta give these developers the credit they deserve. It's sitting on a 90 with 150 reviews, like what are you so mad about

When it goes off how he's 42 years old...

Just devolve into old man yelling at clouds.
it's also completely optional. You can ignore the side content and focus on the main story for the first playthrough, and then come back to it later. Dude makes it sound like it's all mandatory
