Kotaku is also riding the wave with this click-bait article: https://kotaku.com/death-strandings-nominations-at-the-game-awards-cant-he-1840005746. They should be above this.
This is such a disingenuous article lol:
released earlier this month to a split critical reception. I loved it. In my review for Kotaku, I called it a "fantastic mess." Meanwhile, IGN gave the game a 6.8 out of 10.
they managed to find the one other big name publication that gave it a lower score to mention along with their own name meanwhile completely ignoring the other 17 perfect scores and the ton of 8's and 9's the game has over its 110+ reviews. An 84/100 aggregate scoring game isn't split critical reception, it's unanimously good.
