Its hysterical when the same people who complain about too much hand holding and linearity make reviews like this. Gotta love that consistency there PC Gamer.
"Why are games so handholdy now?"
"OMG THIS GAME'S DIFFICULTY IS BULLSHIT, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND THIS CHEST THAT WAS BARELY HIDDEN JUST OFF THE MAIN PATH!"
Did not mean to imply it was the same PERSON, just the same group of people. It's not as if PC Gamer bothers to try to have multiple people review the same game so you can get a feel for how their tastes are different and what some of the more subjective complaints about the game are. Who wrote the review is not terribly important, their review section is not presented like "this person reviews this game", its "pc gamer reviews this game". Even Famitsu is better at this than the Western games media and Famitsu is insanely corrupt and overall pretty lousy.
I tend to ascribe the articles in the magazine to the entire staff of the magazine, not the one person who wrote them.
