Double-A games are the best games. The budgets aren't so high that devs aren't willing to take a chance on more niche ideas. And at the same time it still has enuff of a budget to look like a polished product.
It's really not. It's an incredibly tedious loot/craft game that has an incredible atmosphere and music. But the driving is like 1% of the game, you don't Even actually drive to locations, you teleport there, loot the procedurally generated area, and teleport out. The only driving is the 100 feet between crates that you loot. It's a 5/10 and all 5 of that is the atmosphere and music
@@absence9443 any other outlet scores might actually mean something but not IGN. You are correct that the meat of the review and the actual verbage of what they say means way more than an arbitrary number. But it's outright comical at this point how many 7s they hand out.
Two different games and genres too. It’s silly to compare the review score two games got. The score never means X game is better/worse/the same as Y game, they’re reviewed on their own merits, not in comparison to other games.

Honestly ignore the fact that the steel armor has a health of paper and the points to leave in a field of trees and watching the zone close or that siren and honestly 10/10
If the game isn't buggy as hell, then the ppl that are interested in this game will still get it, this wasnt made out to be a super smash hit, it presents a unique experience, seems it delivers
Just tried it out. Textures not loading, stuttering, missing text, and menu getting stuck when trying to do the first drive. Restarted and progress gone. Could've used some more time.
This game is like an A24 movie. Most people will think it's an 8 out of 10 but those who seek out interesting and unusual games will rank this an 11 out of 10. You know who you are.
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile...
Titan Chaser is a similar title (seemingly..) that often goes on sale for mega cheap. If you're looking for a game similar where you drive a car and flick things on and off in it while exploring surreal environments, look into it..
Two different genres and two different reviewers: that’s how. Comparing scores across two totally different games with different reviewers is a fool’s errand.
The lack of save points removes the point of exploring, its a waste of time because the longer you take - you end up with a car flip end game that deleted an hour or more of your time. Great game, horrible hard locked save way to play that had me delete and not buy. I'm not the only one. Should be an option. Easy mode - save anywhere. Normal - etc etc
Minecraft meets Ghost Busters. How anyone finds this 'game' entertaining is beyond me. This game is a grind, collect, collect and collect and craft and do nothing.
Seems pretty nice, would've bought it with a couple of friends, but at the same time we really don't appreciate propaganda in our entertainment material so we're just gonna pirate it! :)
many of the more annoying things like quirks cost and what not like even getting health makng it back and many mannnny things are in the options menu all the way to being invisible XD

Knew it as soon as she said "behind the wheel of a large automobile". Lmao.
When in doubt, seven it out
Fr 😂
7 is fair, this game has been massively overhyped by the indie RUclips outlets. The game peaks and becomes massively boring at the halfway point
The game is much better than what this review says.
Very innovative and great atmosphere.
IGN reviews fell off, non-existent shoes did make me chuckle though even if it was off a script.
It's IGN, I'm surprised they didn't complain about the lack of firearms.
Game is far worse than what review gave it credit for. Horrendous performance, repetitive, "progressive". Refunded.

Came here to say the same thing. Plus a Herbie reference. Quality review
Yeah, that was unexpected, and cool.

It's because it's a consistent person who's opinions you can trust, rather than a kind of faceless company.
Yet here you are giving IGN that extra view you're so upset about
The demo was fun, and the radio tracks were surprisingly catchy. I’m giving it a shot.
Let me know what you think, I'm considering of getting it.
Where’s the demo?
Where is the demo
I'm buying 10 copies of the physical deluxe edition. In 20 years this will be worth money
The talking heads reference was *chef's kiss*!
Yeah ACG and Skill ups reviews seem a lot better and they seems to understand the game more
Nah. They just are happier to recommend boring crafting games and hiding the fact that that's all the game is.
If this was a Ubisoft Game, you'd have given it a 9.
They gave skull and bones a 7 your logic is instantly flawed
What? No. Lol.
@@DigitalArtcast actually proves his point...you really think skull and bones is anything above a 5
Her dialog was very well written. Nicely done.
Ah, the ol' reliable number 7
Doesn't tell you much nowadays
That’s why it helps to read or watch the actual review. 👌
"Your carpanion", "the well-being of your rusty steed" bro who wrote that text, it's amazing 😂
😂😂😂
4:27 goo. The way she says it is the best part of the video
Gooerrrr
7:33 is similar :D
Game is pretty cool and fresh. Nice break from all the remakes and crap out there

You’re the one crying about an opinion here. Grow up.
Watch ACG and skillups review on this before forming an opinion or deciding to buy it…
such a horrible review lady rushing through the end of the lines she has written down as if this was just some sort of chore she felt burdened to do
Honestly ignore the fact that the steel armor has a health of paper and the points to leave in a field of trees and watching the zone close or that siren and honestly 10/10
Honestly the stylized art style is my favorite thing about the game
Sounds like a once in a lifetime game.

The reference to the classic song of the Talking Heads gain my heart.
Wow,a 7.Didn't expected that from ign..
Just tried it out. Textures not loading, stuttering, missing text, and menu getting stuck when trying to do the first drive. Restarted and progress gone. Could've used some more time.
skill issue
lol...probably playing on dads pentium 3
Get a new PC…lol…this works great on steamdeck and PS5….no shudders hickups or crashing….its your hardware…not the game….🌒👁️🗨️🌘
Yeah, maybe get a PC that can run roblox first.
FYI this game might be quite a lot more enjoyable when played using a controller or a wheel. Those with masochistic tendencies will prefer a keyboard.
Statiom wagons are underrated. Embrace them, reject suvs.
So this is a reality game not far off from living in Portland or Seattle these days?
More like living anywhere in Oregon or Washington in general 😂
Yeah, Downtown Edmonton sim.
This and Skull and Bones got the same score.
IGN, you need to stop assigning numerical scores since they constantly contradict the entire review
Love the Talking Heads reference, it makes me immediately want to play this game.
This game is like an A24 movie. Most people will think it's an 8 out of 10 but those who seek out interesting and unusual games will rank this an 11 out of 10. You know who you are.
This just makes me miss Motorstorm: Pacific Drift even more.
7?
Skull and Bones 7?
Looks like IGN hasn’t lost its touch of giving absolutely horrible game ratings
Using an "if" system to repair car quirks is probably the best feature for a programmer like me. Amazing title.
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile...
1:09 lmaooooo sold me with the “Talking Heads” reference
The Talking Heads reference completely went over my head. Idk how. Lol.
This games deserves an 8 at least.

All the subnautica comparisons are making me excite.
does the game have random generated zone?
Yes
Indont take any review from IGN seriously anymore.
Interesting game, but looks like a total chore, I'm not looking for a second job
How do you give this and skull and bones the same score?!
Two different genres and two different reviewers: that’s how. Comparing scores across two totally different games with different reviewers is a fool’s errand.
@@rustyclark2356 Yeah and what exactly does it mean?
Can't wait to play. The demo was awesome!
Dear PS5 player, yes this game has been updated and supports 60 frame now.
it does not, there are several tests which shows that It runs on 40-50 fps more or less
Skill up strongly recommended.. and ign giving it a 7. Idk what to make of it.
Skill up is right.
It's simple.
ACG loves it. Said its a buy. Hes usually right
Different reviewers have different views. Who knew.
is it SO hard to put hands on the steering wheel??
games are going backwards in terms of immersion
it's an indie game, not AAA production game mate.
@@RiveryJerald and so is Return of the Obra Dinn and yet the character has hands. Way more of an indie game by the way
Ign just loves the number 7

People getting mad at IGN for a 7/10.
Minecraft meets Ghost Busters.
How anyone finds this 'game' entertaining is beyond me. This game is a grind, collect, collect and collect and craft and do nothing.
Curious how authentic this will be to the actual OlyPen
A Talking Heads joke and then coining the term "carpanion". Excellent stuff. 👍 Look forward to seeing more of your reviews.
The sun could also set from the windshield
this is the type of game that is best played on controller
IGN only knows how to give out two scores, 7 and 10... It's kind of like "if you ain't first your last" but instead it's "if you ain't 10 you're 7." 😅
people who look at scores aren't interested in actual reviews anyway.
Seems pretty nice, would've bought it with a couple of friends, but at the same time we really don't appreciate propaganda in our entertainment material so we're just gonna pirate it! :)
What parts are propaganda?
I'm not disagreeing

Thumps up for the Talking heads refrence 1:07
They lost me at puzzle
Siiigh… They can never make a game like this without making it sci-fi
Does wheel work for it on ps5?
Yes
This looks great but I'm not liking the steering. Maybe it will fair better, controller in hand?
Definitely better on a controller , tried first mission on key and instantly switched to controller been really enjoying it
Yo can you guys put the point system back in. You give everything a 7
8/10 minimum
"and you may ask yourself" - Well done! ;)
What's the song that starts at 4 minutes? Thanks in advance!
Sandstorm by Darude
They gave starfield a 7 aswell, just for comparison.
Why can't we have rear view of the reviewer's rear while watching the review?
What does she actually say that we can do to the dashboard @3:52?
"zhuzh up" - to make something more interesting or attractive by changing it slightly or adding something to it
This is a great game. There really is nothing else like it.
Feel like it's PUBG but if you just drive lol
This does have a third person view right? While driving?
lol, the Talking Heads reference.
Loved the Talking Heads reference :)
This game should be a five at best.
IGN, you guys are just terrible.
5:53 havent played the game yet but is this not the entire point of it.
They gave it an 11
what about those who drive on left side? hope there's setting allow them to have immersive feeling
@pabloprp1 yes agree with your point, but that design focus will make their product less appealing to the wider market
