I don't think people cared about the game. It just looked bad on every aspect and PoE lore is honestly not that interesting. It is not a bad lore but a bit boring, definitely not enough to make you excited about this game. I'm guessing all the not bad reviews are just leftists gaslighting.

The lack of enthusiasm alone points on how bad the game looks. Skyrim but woke and worse is not a good selling point for a game.
