Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes
Game = 3.5 stars.
"Who Do You Voodoo?" = 5 stars.
Objectively a far 'superior' game to Dead Island Riptide: Definitive Edition, but I prefer the latter for how much more it serenades me with its shittiness. Though naturally this is still glitchy, ghastly, messy, and downright unfinished enough to be a fun laughing stock. Even on a second runthrough I still can't believe how much wasted potential this has - because I do truly believe there are nuance to the environments here, particularly the beautiful resort literally made to be pristine tourist eye candy turned into an abandoned wasteland of death and destruction. But of course they opt to do next to nothing with them except use them as mere window dressing for what I consider to be the tentpole of godawful pointless-fetch-quest open world non-storytelling which current blockbuster releases like Cyberpunk 2077 have all but fully digested. Rock-solid dumb fun, just play in moderation or your brain will turn to mush.
