Perfectly put, its a great game for some. Two game channels I know of wax on and on in spite of all the negativity. Some people are happy with lackluster game play but, they are seriously immersed into the world with what you pointed out as the pros of Outlaws. They are ok with lackluster gameplay and probably play the game on easy difficulty. Then you have the other people just cant get immersed if the gameplay is not really good. These players "somehow" claim that the graphics are ugly which is mind boggling to me. From what I see I would give Outlaws a 7out10 just for the beauty in graphics and world building but wont buy it because I like tight and difficult gameplay.
You're spot on here, it's been super interesting to see the discourse around this game unfold. Games definitely have target audiences, and for some reason those that fall outside of the target audience for this one are particularly inclined to proclaim that every aspect of the game is terrible without ever actually engaging it.
I think this review was excellently executed. The problem almost every critic has with their review technique is that it is simply binary. Something I have never seen a critic successfully pull off (until now) is a ternary option. The neutral review. Usually, if a game is half good and half bad, it gets a bad review, rating, or some other metric of commentary. This review is truly something unique. This review admonished about the games flaws but also presented its positives amicably with alacrity instead of ambivalence or presentiment. Another great review I enjoyed it thoroughly. I enjoy your reviews because their virdicts are more ambiguous and not an over simplified number to describe the entire experience of such a complex thing. Games are art and stories to be enjoyed. They really cannot be boiled down to a mere number. Simply sharing your thoughts and experience and then asking your interlocutor to make their own decision and opinion is something I greatly appreciate. I think it's the best way to go about reviewing things like this. So, thank you for another eloquent review.
