The first game was super faithful to the setting and characters. I will definitely give this standalone expansion a look quite literally. I'll let Razorfist and other reputable streamers test out the game first as their work, especially the former, has saved me a lot of money over the years.

In today's politically charged environment, I wouldn't put too much stock into the opinion of streamers, even Razorfist. He's got his own bias. Best way to evaluate a new game is to watch gameplay of it and mute the streamer if they start going on a rant. At least that's what I do. Hasn't wasted my money yet.

Evaluating gameplay by watching gameplay without commentary is a super effective method to screen for good gameplay that I agree. Sometimes I even watch a game without audio to gauge the gameplay.

I was shocked and fooled in the past at big game publishers paying for access to get streamers to adopt their talking points and playing a game in a certain fashion to avoid known issues. Folks showing their bias upfront and center isn't all bad, I think it's honest and authentic and I find that valuable.

Regardless of method I hope we all find the best games possible and not get ripped off.
