You just never know these days.. its an unpredictable world of total chaos and uncertainty! Yeah, we live in a crazy world where every game gets 8/10, but some of them suck for some reason. IGN is inclined to not burn bridges, i.e., at least review games decently so they continue getting early access reviews of games.

I think this is a weak excuse for poor journalism. Nobody cares if your review comes out a day or two after the game officially launches, but people do care if your review is utter garbage and it's pointless to even read it.

They’re as general a gaming review spot as there is. Most reviews are pretty OK through that lens.
8/10 for Stormgate is a bit silly, but if you’ve never played much RTS at all it’s probably a good bit better than someone who’s played nothing but RTS for 20 years will tell you

I suppose if you've been living in a cave for 20 years and have never played a video game in your life, Stormgate might be a.... 6/10 game.
But I think even the poor cave dwellers would be able to critique the painfully terrible dialog and writing.
