I've been a little confused by the extreme reaction to this game. I've played a decent amount of it and, while it's not a great game by any means, I didn't hate it. It certainly doesn't seem like it deserves to be in the top ten worst rated games of all time on Steam. It's just kinda okay.

For sure, a large part of the hate was IMO manufactured.
It had that feel to it, but I couldn't figure out what would cause any kind of astroturfed review bomb, it seems pretty inoffensive to me.

my understanding is it was the price point ($70) coupled with the number of cripplingly bad bugs the game had at launch. these can be fixed after the fact but obviously, a bad launch can't generally be recovered from except in the long term--and i don't know that Redfall is going to get that kind of leash.
If gamers are factoring in the $70 price point as an immediate point against a game, I have some bad news…
