Eh, maybe Ill agree when I actually play it. I just know from personal experience that there are a lot pf games that are fun to play that critic's couldn't help but just talk about everything but the gameplay. Then they'd have a puddle deep opinion on the gameplay and throw up your rating.

Plus, like I said, the first is sitting on 7.4. So, that should be the biggest tell for most people who really enjoyed the first. It's critics judging a game that's just an upgraded version of a game I already know I like more than them. If you don't like the first, I imagine it's a lot easier to blindly accept an overall critic score on a sequel. I can't imagine never getting that feeling of finding a gem that critics or regular people looked over tho. Plus, you guys are also hyperbolic on a not damning score to begin with. 7 usually just means it's not for everyone but some will really enjoy it.

Yeah totally. It's fine to not always have the same expectation as critics. I love certain games that are 7/10. Not every game needs to be some ultra ambitious blockbuster. Sometimes it's fine to just play a dumb game where you kill zombies and progress through a bunch of checklists.

Another factor is that a bunch of people reviewing it also are playing Horizon Forbidden West at the same time. Which is an open world game that ticks more boxes for critics compared to something like DL2.
