Clair, Hades 2, DK, and Silksong all feel like they're in the 8-9 range. DS2 and KCD2 have no business being there though.

I like E33, I had a good time with it for what it was, but calling it a 8-9 game shows how far the bar has fallen. It would have been a good 5-6 game a couple of generations ago. Average and enjoyable with no flaws.

That journos give out 9s and 10s to games then list flaws is a tragedy. Remember how much of a big moment it was when a game got a 10? I think it was a zelda game back in the early 2000s that got a 10 and people were going nuts because so few games ever got close to 10. Not because they were bad, but because the rules were strict and more tight.

Now a game with a 5 is seen as unplayable crap, when 5/10 is the definition of average and not a slating.

It's using the US school grading system
5/10=50%=F
7/10=70%=C
 
Guess I'm standing alone in thinking both E33 and DKB are 9s. The rest of that nonsense can get right the fuck outta here - maybe Silksong can stay but it's not my style.
 
DKB is way too overhyped. You go into a open world and spam punch, collecting procedurally generated gold and randomly placed bananas until you move to the next world. It's a collectathon but the reward for collecting the gold and currency is a really lame skill tree and a few recolors for Kong.

The biggest problem I have with the game is that it's way too easy. Most of the time you know exactly what you need to do but you need to fight with Mario Odyssey style input combo control scheme to achieve it over and over and over again. It's a good kids game because the action reaction element is fun and every thing you do is high production value. If you've already played these destruction sand box games and you're in no mood for a good to okay 3D platformer, a genre that's been over saturated in the indie space, then you won't be easily impressed.

Apparently the South Koreans and the Chinese. The former love their PC MMORPGs and the latter are big into mobile as a game platform so no wonder the games are PC and mobile focused. The whales in those markets spend money on microtransactions in a way that is unheard of anywhere else, they only need a certain amount of those people hooked on these games to make them very profitable.

And to make the situation even more hilarious the Tencent knockoff "Light of Motiram" will be released on PC, mobile and, you guess it, PS5.

There's really not anything to recommend E33 over a hundred or more PS2 JRPGs, it's a fine game but I can only imagine people who never played JRPGs before thinking it's anything amazing, or people hyping it because they're disillusioned with the current state of the genre
 
E33 is a great game if you don't look too deep. The combat has no tactical requirement other than "have a bigger number than the enemy". Very few fights require you to outthink an enemy or tactically load out.
The story is interesting until it turns a bit retarded and the cutscenes last longer than they should.
By the time you've gotten to the monolith you realise you've been playing the same gameplay loop for 20 hours and the game should end there on a cliff hanger to keep you hooked for the next instalment.
The voice acting is excellent though and the music is standard for what you would expect.

E33 is praised because it puts everything together in a serviceable, approachable package for babies first RPG.
Games like Enchant Arms and Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360 were better games that received less praise because Rpg and JRPG fans were eating good.

E33 is asking a starving man to rate a Big Mac in terms of how good of a burger it is.
 
Apparently that Japan-only PS5 Digital is selling like sand at the beach.
