Unknown 9 Dev Being Shut Down Two Years After Disaster PS5 Launch
Key Points:
- The game in question had ambitious transmedia plans involving games, comics, and books, which some viewed as overly confident given the lack of a strong initial game release.
- Despite some criticisms of linear design and a "mid-looking" presentation, reviews like one giving it an 8 suggest the game is functional, enjoyable, and rich in lore, appealing to certain players.
- The author acknowledges that many B and C list games can be enjoyable despite flaws, and personal enjoyment can vary independently of critical reception or production issues.
- Comparisons are made to BioWare's struggles with management and design consistency, but it's unclear how much those issues relate to this defunct studio or affect the playability of their game.
- The author questions the notion of a negative pattern, emphasizing that the game may be worth trying based on its merits rather than preconceived expectations.
