My least favorite thing about the game is the visual style. If you told me a lot of it had to do with AI I’d believe it. It’s weird to look at and a lot of people just chalked it up to being a AA game, but it’s never quite sat right with me.
Comment on I feel like Expedition 33 is overrated [minor spoilers]

I watched some gameplay videos, couldn’t get into it either. The start is somewhat intriguing, but once you’re out of the prologue it just looks boring and weird in a bad way. Though that’s mostly about the visuals and general gameplay, I didn’t see enough to say much about the story.
Maybe the issue with the awards is that the competition wasn’t that strong? Most AAA games don’t put much effort into telling an interesting story, if nothing else Expedition 33 at least tried.

That’s a fair point! I do appreciate the devs trying something unique with both the gameplay and story. Of the other GOTY nominees, it is an understandable pick. In terms of general reviews I’m surprised to see so many 9s and 10s though.
