IGN score: 76 or 89?
So I saw the IGN review which gave this game a 76 "The single player campaign is long and challenging, but feels uninspired... Relic deserves credit for not remaking the same game with prettier graphics, but this hybrid approach doesn't feel as strong as DoW 2's tactical focus." ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpqvjUslvgM )

But then IGN Italia on metacritic gave the game an 89? How can IGN have these two completely different scores for the game? Did Sega/Relic purchase advertisement space only in IGN Italia but not English IGN? Is gaming "journalism" a complete joke and farce?

And are there reviews of the game from actual players instead of paid "journalists" that actually praise the game? I don't think I trust the big name "influencers" that much more anyways, but the reviews I've seen like Total Biscuit, Arch Warhammer, and Generals Gentlemen (who have personally worked with Relic in the past) all pretty much seem to mostly hate what DoW 3 has ended up being. The only positive/praising review I've seen from a player is some guy named Pawnce, but he got the game for free and seems like a Sega/Relic shill so idk.

And then of course you have the Steam and Metacritic user reviews with a lot of people completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the game while some people saying it's GOTY best game ever made 10/10 and I feel like those are probably the closest to any possible objective truth, but you have to take those reviews with a grain of salt.

I just watched DansGaming (really popular video game streaming on Twitch for some reason) streaming the campaign and he got bored of it after the 2nd mission and moved on to another game :(
