metacritic is where you go to do political review bombing without having to actually buy the game. It's useless and insufferable.

Ive seen it in Steam as well sometimes. Not sure if they have moderated it there and cleaned it up now.

This isnt a AAA budget game as we know it and they are selling it for $70, but thats only a problem if you have a PS5 because Gamepass is 11.99 a month.

This was a bad way to put it. Its not a massive sprawling open world like an Assassins Creed, Fallout or Elder Scrolls, but its a big game with a lot of stuff to do.

You do get the occasional DEI complaint on Steam in reviews, but not nearly as often as on metacritic, but if there are too many DEI, or any type of political, complaints, then Steam doesn't count them. They are considered off-topic and not included in the score. They aren't moderated, but you won't see them when you scroll down to reviews unless you request to see them. Another important factor is simply being required to buy the game to leave a review, and Steam won't necessarily refund the game for you if you are buying games, leaving reviews and asking for refunds. You can only do that a couple of times before Steam denies your refund request, and then you won't be able to refund any game for awhile.
