An update was recently released that changed the game for the worse, causing long-time players to change their review.
It’s an early access title that’s been abandoned by the developer, and is being justifiably review bombed as a result.
It was recently included in a bundle, so there’s a lot of new players who weren’t interested enough to buy the game on its own, but played it after receiving it in the bundle and were unimpressed. I’d give this one the least weight, because often times those are players who just don’t like the genre or went in with too-high expectations for a low budget game.
An update was recently released that didnt change the game in a way some long-term players wanted, and they’re angry they fell for hype from streamers and are taking it out on the devs instead.
Or, as we recently saw in helldivers
An update was recently released with a bad translation, and gave players an expectation they could do something that they couldn’t, and it became politicized
In the case of Oblivion Remastered (not the proper one, the Bethesda one) it seems closer to #2. It has very similar reviews to this screenshot. A lot of people were excited and happy to play it, but as time went on people found that the game was actually moderately bugged and has many progress breaking issues that the devs ignore. I’m assuming that Bethesda released this purely to undermine Skyblivion, but it’s clear which dev team cares about what they produce. Side note, the absolute scumbags charge £50 for it. A remaster should never be above £20
Meh. It’s a remaster. Mostly automated, anyhow. Charging for that barely-half-assed re-re-re-release isn’t just greedy AF, it’s a slap in our peasant faces with global cost-of-living in the fuckin’ stratosphere. You owe it to yourself to spend your finite cash more wisely. These fucks don’t need it, and none of the original devs get a cent of it now, anyhow.
Did that happen? I bought Oblivion Remastered on release day and had minimal problems with it, it’s a Bethesda game so some are to be expected. I’ve run through it twice now and have had a blast.
Don’t forget, “Had recent thing happened that made waves in Internet circles and now people are buying the game to leave a negative review with less than an hour only because they are jumping on the review bomb band wagon and have FOMO for an ‘event’.”
Possible reasons why this happens:
You forgot

I really don’t know what people expected with oblivion remastered tbh, its a Bethesda title of course it’s broken
Does that mean Bethesda actually fixed 95% of their release bugs?
I was downvoted for pointing this out.
Yo ho, me hearties. You own it already. “Update” your copy to its current iteration for free. 🤌🏼
I can understand they want some more money but since I already own the game, it is a graphic improving DLC. Should be £10-£15 max.

But the update is so much more work than a horse armor dlc which is a lot of money for no content.
