David Cronenberg's Punch-Out!!
I'm trying really hard to not be The Defense Force for this game, but I feel like its reception suffered from Dead Space fan expectations thinking we're getting a legally distinct reboot of what Dead Space was.
I love Dead Space (not 3). I've read the comics and even the fucking novels. I saw the wee nods from the trailers. The similarities. But I tempered my expectations when watching the dev diaries, because it was clear we were getting something different with melee at the forefront of combat. Something a bit more linear, and developed by a new studio working through the pandemic.
Again, I'm not trying to make excuses here, I've got plenty wee issues with the game. Just trying to find some perspective on a flawed thing that I had a good time with. I just worry that a chunk of the negative reaction is from a thing I see more and more now where people don't actually play/watch/read the thing, but just absorb the opinion of their favourite youtuber or whatever and turn that into The Truth they tell other people about the piece of media in question. I've definitely been guilty of it myself.
Jesus, look at the cope here.
I'll say that I hope they get a sequel because I'd like to see where the story/setting goes, and think taking a lot of the criticisms on board could really turn this into something great.
