The word you meant to put is divisive.

Playing through game pass if that matters but I’m really enjoying it also.

One of the only recent games on game pass which I’ve liked. Not sure why it’s getting all the hate.

Made by Russians, set in Soviet Russia. Never mind that this game highlights every bad thing about the Soviet Union.

Cause it’s Russian made. Did you not get the memo?? The entire world is xenophobic towards Russian people now.

At least it isn't made by (or rather money going towards) she who shall not be named.

I know these bandwagon boycotts only do more harm IMO. I can see this xenophobia from this Ukraine war lasting for the rest of my life, it’s genuinely gross how people talk about the avg Russian.

Why is it divisive? (I'm assuming that's what you meant)

There’s a lot of controversy surrounding this game, its contents, its devs, its ties to Russia and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Too much to really put into words here, but there’s plenty of credible resources online that can provide a neutral perspective on the matter.

The choice is yours in the end. Best to make it an informed one.

It’s good definitely worth a play through especially if you like bioshock. It’s also free so why wouldn’t you try it out??

I don't intend to play it, but Metacritic is showing a 71 Metascore and 6.9 user score - that doesn't really sound like "universally agreed it's a horrible game". But i don't know, maybe 6.9 is horrible these days?

It wasn't my favorite game I played even that week, but it's not horrible.

We don't need to limit games to the ridiculous "good/bad" dichotomy, there are many layers.

Its definitely average, but horrible? No. Its even done what a lot of devs have been unable to do recently and release a game that actually runs on every platform, including PC - at launch.

Except the music and sound design are excellent, the graphics are quite good especially for the team size, the world design has a fair amount of depth, there's a dumptruck worth of lore/optional audio, the "dream" sequences add some absurdist levity, and the first real boss and the last boss are pretty good and provide relatively interesting fights.

So, again, its not bad/good. It's average, not great, alright, etc.

Please grow up.
