I loved Nier with an absolute passion. This review has convinced me that I need this game. Very rarely does that happen.

8spot. Tom McEight. Mario Kart 8.

Fully expected. At least this time around, the score is justified by the review.

That's another review with a score of 8/10 but no "the bad". I personally would not give a game anything less than 10/10 if I couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Only a hundred-ish hours? Jeez, that is honestly not that much. :P

@JustPlainLucas Personally I don't see the point in rating down a game if it doesn't innovate and merely "plays it safe". A fun game is a fun game.

@bruno321 @Kevin-V @bunchanumbers It would be really nice seeing the reviewer himself defend his positions and not having senior staff members come and do it for him.

@AK_the_Twilight @vader501st Twilight Princess was worse. Much worse. And Gamespot didn't have this comment system back then either.

This is incredibly surprising, coming from Retro Studios. Then again, "playing it safe" doesn't necessarily mean "bad" and Gamespot of late have had an obsession with originality and innovation being the only factor in scoring a game high. Arkham Origins got 6 as well and wasn't a terrible game.

I enjoy Flappy Bird. It is a pure gameplay experience. It's structure is based entirely on skill, not luck of random draws, or the amount of money you can pump into it. It's like Hill Climb Racing, only much harder.

I never had Sonic in my childhood. Also, would like to see more Trender_man.
