Why? I think the game is overrated and I’ve quite clearly listed my reasoning. When I suggest that perhaps the ‘is not for me’, it’s not because I don’t enjoy the genre in the first place etc. The exact opposite in fact - on paper, this game is everything I’d want out of an RPG. When I say it’s not for me, I mean that perhaps I have some personal gripes that others could overlook; that’s my suggestion for why the game is constantly rated so highly despite my feeling that it shouldn’t be.

If the game sounded like it would hold no interest for me, I simply wouldn’t have played it. I wouldn’t play a football game (which I know I wouldn’t enjoy) and say it’s overrated simply because it’s not a genre I like.

Expedition 33 DOES do a lot of things I like, and it kept me more-or-less interested throughout. I just don’t think it deserves perfect reviews.
