Devs are putting tons of fake reviews on MetaCritic

[Swamp Fox]

Really pathetic and sad to see this.

Pathetic!
Well at least they are doing something with the plenty free time they will have since the huge success of the game!

We don't know if it is the dev's or trolls off a website doing this, we just know a lot of them are fake to make it seem more better


Websites should really have accounts with certain time made to be able to review stuff, not review right away IMO to slow this crap from happening

its clearly bots, or ppl that dont speak very good English.
tyhe snytaxing is all wrong, they fail to conjugate verbs, and it all feels very Bot-like.

but sure, it's the devs.
bery unbiased opinions in the " i have nothing better to do with my time, so i'll hate on a random game instead " crowd/

but you do you, i s'pose.

you could just ignore the game if ya don't like it, I do it all the time.

it's clearly just an April fools joke done with poor bots. but people will build theior own narrative to suit their needs, so in this case - defenders of the game will say it's bots, and attackers of the game will say it's the fanbase and/or devs.
or YUji himself, with hordes of smurf accounts


EDIT - Actually, I kinda hope it is YUji making thousands of metacritic accounts, running from netcafe to netcafe to log into different ip's every time, maybe even changing laptops too/ that would be a pretty funny image board to see.

How embarrassing.

It's not bots. The syntax, etc you are talking about is characteristic English spoken by native Japanese.

[Ceph Seven]

Ehhh it's way more pathetic and sad to be actually upset over a POSITIVE review bombing. I didn't even know that was a thing lol

Because it's not review bombing, it's called astroturfing. A lot of companies pull this crap but it's normally not this blatant or hilarious. No real person would make an account just to review 6 versions of the same game and give it straight 10's, especially this one.

No sane person would give this game a 10. Only insane people!

my favorite 10/10 rating, ( which is clearly done by Japanese people as insisted by ME'95 )
was this one

Balan Wonderworld ImageThe first thing I value in a game is undoubtedly its gameplay.
And in that, Balan Wonderworld is promoted with the highest rating, imho.
A large part of the levels created in this game seem to be created in a bizarre way, but at the same time in an extremely clever way.
Hidden passages, secret streets and intriguing maps accompany this work that winks at the classic games of past generations, in a good way.
(especially if you love games like NiGHTS or Croc, you will also love this Balan Wonderworld)

I can be more than satisfied, despite everything.
And I would say that I can confidently recommend it.
Especially if you are looking for an intriguing and surprising platformer.

this one seems sus
"Literally the best platform game I've played on Switch.

An energetic and colorfully great platform game, with a nice gameplay and a great music.
Absolutely recommend it "
however - when would Japanese translate colorful to colorfully?

im not a fan boy, i've said this game is average at best.
CSGO servers down, or something?
you really have better things to be doing, I just enjoy hwo the internet jumps on the bandwagon while they know literally nothing. Why even argue about a thing you have 0 knowledge in? what does that even prove?

[Swamp Fox]

Absolutely nobody cares what you have to say, furry scum
