A lot people are liking it because the people who didn't during the early preview didn't receive their early access copies.

Curious to see where this one lands with people.

Just guessing, but maybe a 6.4 / 10 customer score. More copies sold than Concord, but not enough to go net positive. It looks polished so I doubt it'll be overwhelmingly negative, but it just won't be that interesting to gamers so most will probably just not buy it.

It'll probably be review bombed in both directions.

I'm feeling a mixed reception obviously. Probably more review bombing in the negative direction by the Gamer™ crowd perceiving it as woke.

I’ve only seen Skill-Up review but it looks like this guy assumes BioWare is toast and won’t be sending many early copies in the future. I’m confused at who’s the target audience of this game. Is it the League of Legenda crowd? It kinda looks like Arcane now that I think about it. Low hardware requirements also suggest it’s aimed at younger players but I can’t reconcile it with how dorky it is.
