According to the users who scored the game low, some argue that the game is very buggy when being played. Some users even argue that the game has low-end visuals, while others criticize Aloy’s “beard” during a close up on her face. Others even say the game still feels being focused on being “woke”.
While these user scores are from players who have experienced the game or just trolls or fans from the other consoles trying to bring down a PlayStation exclusive game, there are still others who say otherwise. There are many gamers who have given a score of 10 and have wide praise for the game.
Whether it’s from critics, trolls, fans, or players, it is always up to you. Try the game first to experience it yourself then make the call.
