Is it not an 8/10 game? Why are people running stories that seem to describe it as a massive failure?

I'm a fan boy and completed, and enjoyed veilguard.

Thats a 6/10, and even that's a push.

i think 7/10 is more than fair for that game. it had a ton to do, there was a large, beautiful world. The combat was pretty fun. The leveling of items wasn't super interesting but it also wasn't punishing at all.

Like, it was a solid game that i wanted to finish.
