It's a half-baked idea propped up by diversity and tacked-on side activities. It clocks in at about 5-6 hours of play time. They timed the release to the start of the holiday release rush in early September. Any gamer over 30 smelled this shit from a mile away.
The industry as a whole is so very fucked up right now. Reviewers can't be believed, good games are downplayed, and big franchises are no longer safe bets (its the opposite, mostly) and it all has to do with how much woke horseshit they can pack onto a disc.
There are a handful of good ones this year but mostly they've been glossed over or have been shuffled along in favor of newer stuff. Guardians of the Galaxy was good (combat was the weakest part), Resident Evil Village, Back 4 Blood is fun, Monster Hunter Rise, The Ascent, Hades. All are recent-ish.
