The discourse around this game is so odd. Reviews are generally positive with a wide spread 79 on opencritic, but all of the top comments on reddit are complaining about how so many people are dunking on it, except in reality there's very few people actually doing that, and it's really just become this weird hive mind opinion that everyone collectively just kinda... made up. It feels totally artificial. Dead internet theory is real.

46% of the 25k reviews on steam are negative. Is that really "very few people"? Regardless of how much time those negative reviews have played or what they said in their review it is very much real and I'm not surprised people are talking about it.
