  1. It's worth mentioning in the review, but no it shouldn't factor into the actual score. We don't give $5 games better scores because of price to fun ratio.

  2. I don't think it should at all. You know the price from the get go so that's on you if you want to spend that much. Not to mention they get cheaper over time. I wouldn't expect any scoring to rise as the game gets cheaper.

  3. 70$ with no micro-transactions. fine with me. now if they locked some of the game behind a pay wall, that would have been another story then and yes skins are a part of the game 😉

  4. I felt this way about Nioh 2 until I had sunk about 100 hours into it. Buying full price games is difficult even if I've been looking out for its release for years.
