That's not his review. It was written by Laura.

So that explains Nioh's Sterling rating.

That's a matter of opinion, and one I seriously doubt I'd agree with even if I'd played Horizon. I suspect I might like GR more than the average person. Still doesn't change the fact it qualifies for the qualities Jim mentioned.
Horizon manages to tell a story that has robot laser dinosaurs walking around a post-apocalyptic dystopia and have it make absolute perfect logical sense. You have to acknowledge the feat in that.

Try talking about Horizon to Razorfist.

Is that the moron who cribbed Iron Maidens font for his logo?

Yookalaylee review is up. Apparently the game seems to have shipped as a broken, buggy mess. Site is running pretty slow right now, guess we'll see if he garners another internet lynch mob.

I initially decided to run my review of Yooka-Laylee without a score because I found it so utterly unbearable to play. This would have been the third time in twelve years I’ve ever done this, putting Yooka-Laylee in the same bracket as Velvet Assassin and Knights Contract, two other games so archaic and poorly designed I refused to put up with their shit.

Jim's site is down again, due to either traffic or enraged Youka-Laylee fans. (Or maybe tech-savvy racists who can't stand that JonTron was cut from the game.)

Whatever the case, here's an archive where you can read his full review.

[up][up] Probably a mix of both.

I honestly didn't even know Yooka-Laylee was supposed to be out now.

To be fair, it seems to be a massive case of Love it or Hate it. It seems the deciding factor is how much you want a 90s platformer. Specifically one that take pain to stick to that 90s style, including the flaws.

Seems to be mixed reviews for this one, but I was surprised at how scathing Jim was for his review. His main complaint that it's basically the same kind of 90s 3D platforming games everyone played before, which also includes all the warts and boils growing on top of the good bits.

That's not an excuse. That's like saying 'It's not a bug; it's a feature!"

They had two years to get this up to snuff and they couldn't even get the camera right?

Some people are trying to excuse the stuff Jim complained about, saying that "people wanted this". Some are being serious and others are trolling, so it's hard to tell.

Making sure they had good camera control was one of the first things they should have concentrated on. That sort of thing is vital for this sort of game.

The fact that we have people defending terrible flaws and game design because "that's how it was back in the day", is terrifying.

I was being sarcastic. But I am sure someone out there is making that point honestly.

2/10 is flat-out clickbait, IMO.

Not even Sonic 2006 is a 2/10.

[up]I like most of Jim's stuff, but no.

I am firmly of the opinion that he has and will continue to give deliberately higher and lower scores than others for the sake of generating controversy.

What's to clickbait if Jim doesn't have advertisements? People keep crying clickbait, but there's nothing to click.
