    I’ll admit to being someone who dislikes most Larian games (DoS, BG3). I’ve written reviews from the perspective of a casual gamer who finds overly complicated or mechanically overwhelming games to simply be too much. You say those things here and you get destroying by the hivemind, but it’s fair for someone to say “I didn’t like this game for the following reasons.” Not all players are looking for the same thing.

    I like to leave compliments about the games as well, because there are some great storytellers or unique things about games that should be celebrated even if you didn’t like the final product.

      hah I ran into this with a tactical RPG. I even got a comment along the lines that I should change my review “because the game is great, I just can’t appreciate it”. I admit this was the first (and probably last) tactical RPG I’ve tried, but still my experiences were valid impressions as a newcomer of the genre 🤷
