So, seeing all the bad reviews forces me to make a review myself.
Devs work HARD on patching all the stuff they did wrong at the start, pumping new content and fixing bugs every other day. That's a definitive plus, you rarely see as much work being done even on an early access games.

There is a lot of stuff to do, the ingame progress feels a bit slow though, so it can be a bit tedious to level up. But overall it's a fine puzzle game and it definitively is worth every buck spent.
I wish they had some kind of mini-game built in for repairing the car body, at the moment it's just: click - BAM - you're done.

Don't bother reading old reviews, just get the game and try it out for yourself, you'll be surprised how good the game actually is.

Also, I didn't say he is more correct than you, I simply said that he is correct: Reviews are about what a game is now, not it's potential--not what it maybe might possibly be if the developer gets around to actually finishing it.

This is one of the reasons the major games media is so corrupt.

You want us to ignore all but the latest reviews--do you want us to ignore all but the last sentence of your review?

The reason that ALL reviews matter is that smart and mature gamers don't want to reward companies for bad behavior, because this leads to more bad behavior. The last thing I want is for WB/Rocksteady's DISGUSTING release of Arkham Knight to be erased from history.

Everyone needs to know about that. They need to take that into consideration when deciding how much money to pay, or whether to give them any money at all.

A child cares only about a game. An adult cares about the business, because the quality of the business determines the quality of the game.

@Dryspace:
How is he more correct than me, when the whole point of my review was that people should stop reading old bad reviews about the game, since the game became pretty good over the weeks after the initial release? That's why old reviews don't help: games tend to change over time (some get better, other get even worse), so try reading CURRENT reviews and don't rely on old ones.
Just read the last sentence of my review aloud, that's the quintessence of it.

Fight Aaaaaah is entirely correct.

Reviews are about the state *NOW*, not about "how much work is being done" and surely not about "this game will be great". Reviews are about "how good *IS* this", not "how good WILL it BE?".

I agree with Dryspace 100%, the problem is the fact that there was as much that had to be fixed after release. I bought the game and refunded simply due to the UI being so very very slow to use on each part. I have both of the other CMS games so I support them. Just not until they change back to the old style UI. This has a console feel to it as far as the UI is concerned. Graphics were good although they kinda made it seem like you can have more freedom with superchargers and turbos in this game and its not as flexible as they made it feel in the trailers etc.

I'm astonished that you think "much work being done" on a newly-released game is a *good* thing. Is this how pervasive "Early Access" culture has become, that people have forgotten about the concept of a working, completed game?

If I buy a computer, or a microwave, or a watch, and "much work" is still being done on it after I take it home, it's an unfinished piece of crap.

Wouldn't you agree?

I really liked CMS 14 and CMS 15, and I'm a fan. But they have been terrible with their updates, even with simples fixes. I.E. the Ivert Y option also inverts the menu cursor. This has been a problem since they added the invert option which was well over a motnh ago. Should be an easy fix. The issues they have with this game look like Early Access, just without the tag. This should have been released EA or not at all(in its current state).

Can't say I believe in posting a positive review just because you see a bunch of negative. The game was awful on release, sure, it's in a much better place, but still isn't at all what was promised, and what we paid for.

So they release an unfinished product (note: release) and you justify it with "early access"?
I guess it really doesn't matter what devs do, there will always be people to suck them off.
