The fact that they had to lock the comments section because of all the people making genuine criticism of the review and memes really does say something.
Honest to God you cannot review a game and call it bad if you’ve barely even beaten the tutorial, let alone judge the story. That’s like booting up Pikmin 3 and criticizing it for being too easy when all you’ve done is beat the opening scene with Captain Charlie.
Honestly, this. He criticized the menu's, thats fair i think, i also struggled with it when i started ruina. He criticized the gameplay, which is also fair considering he hasnt gotten far into the game yet and is probably struggling because of that trademark PMoon tutorial. But to criticize the story? When hes like 5 hours into the game? Thats just insane.
This interview has convinced me…. I think I will become a game journalist. And be the change I wish to see. I will become better at games. So that way the curse won’t drain my brain.
@mohamadshafiqmohamadhanifa7853 False. This same company reviewed a mainstream game AFTER PLAYING IT FOR ITS PLAYTIME OF 50 HOURS. THERE. IS. NO. EXCUSE. Oh wait, there is. They thought LoR was so niche it didn't have a community that would defend it from their assumptions. If niche, why bother reviewing?
So what I can discern from this is that whoever reviewed this game was far from kind to it. I mean geez I don’t even play ruina but I thought it was interesting enough. Unfortunately I don’t see the review changing soon. Though if there’s any silver lining; it could’ve been lower
@@Not_Rui_ I mean, to play devil’s advocate, while not very knowledgeable in journalism. They probably didn’t have plenty of time, while they might’ve had days (which sounds like a lot but hold thine horses) to do this, they had to get footage, get it edited, send that to who knows what, then get their thoughts on paper beforehand, not to mention they probably had to do this not long after reviewing another game. It doesn’t help that apparently from what I’ve heard the menus are pretty clunky themselves and the game chugs hard even for switch games, first impressions matter far more than later impressions sometimes. The story beats thing I can understand is very goofy and does tell that they might’ve just had the mindset of “getting this over with asap”, but I’m mainly just trying to at least come up with a reason or explanation for some of the criticisms, even if this comment I’m making is like a wet tissue paper with how good it may/may not stand.
@@Beepers559 thats usually how it is. though the ui isnt bad. its actually pretty simple and easy to understand. though the tutorials could be better but thats a project moon problem. its a game worth playing but i think the controls were fine on pc but im not sure how itll be handled on switch probably same as the xbox port. hell i played lobcorp and am playing ruina so i can understand wtf white night and dark days was. and what the library was. and honestly its been a rather gripping experiance
@@caellanmurphy4751 I ain’t trying to say that LoR isn’t worth playing (apologies if that’s how it came off as) I was mostly just going off of hearse. Frankly I’ve been looking into ruina on the PC myself, even having played some of lobcorp I found it enjoyable despite the spaghetti code. To be honest again it’s a shame its score is as low as it was but to be frank it could’ve been far lower if we got someone on the leagues as the cup head journalist. Though hopefully people do enjoy switch LoR though, even if there’s such a review as this.
@Beepers559 That's the kind of things that tend to happen when you take on a 5 hour long review of a game that can easily take over 70 and more just because most does, it's no different from playing Elden Ring and calling it a boring and storyless game with interesting set-up because you stopped at the first Tree Sentinel and gave it a wrap
Why are journalists allowed to review games that are story-based and longer than 60 hours? They're getting 8 hours into the game max, experiencing none of the game, then calling it trash (unless its mainstream in which case the glazing is obligatory.)
personally for me them calling lor a cyberpunk dystopia is the most painful part for me, i mean sure it IS accurate, but it still hurts because they probably think its just like any other cyberpunk setting, but really the 'dystopia' part hurts more cuz like, it was always this bad its not a future
I don't get why the community is so pressed over an accurate assement of the first few hours of LoR on switch. It's a *launch day* review, and the reviewer might not have gotten an early copy. What do you expect them to do, take the fucking LoR speedrun record from argo_lor and beat the game in the five hours had to play a niche indie game?
Not really, fans expected at least 20+ hours in, given that the same company played a mainstream game for 50 FRICKING HOURS. So clearly they do have the time, they just assumed it wasn't worth it 🤡
@@seisosimpKeep in mind that I love LoR. I have a channel where I upload "funny" and horrible remixes of the music. The early game is so awful that I don't blame anyone for not playing past. Horrible menus, really boring gameplay (because you can just hit the focused strikes button until like...sweepers), and not the most interesting story beats (really need the knowledge from Lobotomy Corp for it to be decent, but you know, the knowledge the reviewer obviously doesn't have?). The real saving graces are the graphics (but you need to play half the floors on the low graphical setting on switch anyway, so get ready for pixelated wingbeat angela!) and the music, until urban nightmare and the floor realizations start. Would I prefer the review come out later and be a fuller review of LoR? Yeah, of course. I want more people to play it, the later game is really good. Do I think, considering in all likely hood that the reviewer basically had 5 (or less) hours to play the game to get the review out, that the community is overreacting about this review? Also yes.
@@theimpostor8394 The problem is the fact that they reviewed it at all with just five hours of experience. If they called it a first impressions, people wouldn't have been this critical of them. The fact as well that the review is full of mistakes about the story when they've just played five hours of it.
I wish people would chill. They didn't like the game and wrote about it, you really don't have to be this pressed over it. Coming from someone who really likes the game.
It's not about they like it or not, but it's about how they created the review People bashed it because of how aren't fully review it, it makes the review kinda shit because they haven't explored what the game offers It's like making a cake but you didn't add the sugar and it tasted bad, then you said "I don't like this, 0/10" Add: Don't forget the mistaking roland as street thug and comparing it to persona 5
that review is nuts! (i was there they banned lyla the sweeper 4 times for being a machine and speaking a different language 45689 45984 34587 23488 96785 56746 27586 87475 56284)

Why this journalist is so obsessed with Persona game
its called being a 1 trick pony. hell until persona 5 the series was relatively unknown after 5 came out they woudnt shut up about it
smt five review ptsd
No wonder being called a game journalist is considered by many to be an insult
fillter oh also the dude hasnt even finish the game
Less than 5 hours even
bro really called it a visual novel then proceeded to say it talks too much like, thats kinda the point of visual novels
He won't last long playing Steins Gate trying to get all endings then fumbling one of the easily missable options to get the true ending 😂😂😂😂😂
library of ruina solely exists to provide Xiao with a game to inhabit
only game in existence with XIao AND Roland in it, 10/10
@@aceisawesome_ i pray that someday limbus company will also have them both
Library of Ruina is the Limbus Company of Persona Fivelikes

This journalist when he plays heartstone, yu-gi-oh, MTG: "Wow! This is just like Persona!"
Persona 5 became the new "It's the dark souls of [whatever]" in the deckbuilding space now
Wish they hop in a warp train
I think they've done that already. The employees just forgot about him
My take is they lost the tutorial battle so all the hours went into a retry..
Yeah it shows

A dystopia doesn't have to describe a future. The word just describes an imagined society which has shitty living conditions.
