That got review bombed, the critic reviews are 86/100, just like the other games you’ve mentioned. No way it’s worth 2.3 or 23%.
Regardless of the user reviews, they were all blockbuster/big titles. AC and COD are whatever games for me, but they’re super popular.
That’s fair, but let’s not pretend that sales determines quality, especially considering prevalence of blind preordering.
What is “blockbuster” to you if not reviews or sales of high budget titles?
