Last time I played it it felt like a walking simulator where they desperately tried to add on gaming mechanics. All the new additions to game play are basically
>well you want to walk around and explore?
>haha everything is broken go fix it
Reviewers always rate non-games higher because they suck at games and they aren't frustrated by the non-existent game play. I usually take a few points off their scores for story-games, and add a few points for games that are difficult to try and make up for it.
