I feel like I should like this game more than I do, but the humor and art style just fall flat to me. Read more

Not too bad a review. I understand where you are coming from. This type of game is not for everyone. I am not in love with this game either, but to me, this is the first TRUE next gen game for the one. What do i mean by true next gen? Well, as far as i know, this is the first game that will only live on the xbox one Read more

This game practically emits 'cult classic'. It's got a unique art-style and all the early reviews saying its okay, has fun gameplay but the humor's a bit off (that's mainstream-speak for "I don't get it"). Damn it, if it's got kickass soundtrack (kotaku doesn't seem to mention it) it'd be like reading off of a cult Read more

That's the odd thing, isn't it? R&C was genuinely hilarious. I assumed this would be as well. I feel like Insomniac needs to go back to that series, and stay there - it's almost always amazing. Read more

The humor appears to be hit or miss, especially when it comes to Player's behavior. I'm running a Review Roundup thread on the IG Forums, and I've seen Player's attitude listed as a hilarious pro in Game Informer's review and as a con in Rev3 Games and Video Gamer's reviews. Read more

You forgot to put "It's exclusive to Xbox One" in the cons category. Read more

So I get a Crackdown meets Tony Hawk meets Dead Rising kinda feel about this game based on everything I see/read. Reviews have been pretty good too, so definitely am leaning more towards it now. Read more

C'mon. Really? Do you stick out your pinky when you drink chamomile tea also? It's a video game! Read more

I had a commercial for this pop-up on YouTube last night that gave me this exact impression. It was the 'live action trailer' ad. I watched the whole thing out of curiosity, but halfway through my thought was, "This is still going? Why are you dragging this out? You got my laugh, just stop, please".

There's a fine Read more

Ah yes, the old "we use crappy video game tropes but we're also making fun of them so it's ok guys we're cool because we're self aware hahaha get it?" tactic. Still not funny. Read more

How far have I fallen that I didn't see anything wrong with Far Cry 3? That was by far one of my surprise games of 2012 that I really enjoyed! I didn't care about the series up until that point and I gave in to the peer pressure that I needed to play that game. So on a $20 GameStop sale I decided to give it a chance Read more

You say "tasteless," I say "hilarious." Sounds like a blast to me! Read more

Great review Yannick. It is such a relief to read that someone else find the art style and overall vibe of this game completely off putting. Read more

The sense of humor is pretty stupid but... I kind of... Like the style? :/ the color palette seemed amazing! Read more

Yannick I rarely comment but I have to say - I love your writing. I'd never heard of Shadow of Mordor before your review, but it was enough to make me buy it and I love it. Whilst I don't have an Xbox One and therefore won't be buying this game, your review was entertaining and informative enough to keep me reading in Read more

geez....what happened to Insomniac's art team?

"Atrocious sense of humor and style"
