Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Good bones? I thought the gameplay looked uninspired even taking into account it's development age.

True, it was a really well done clone, but it was well done. The game worked. It wasn't terribly buggy.

This is exactly it. The game seemed fine, but it wasn’t doing anything to steal you away from your other games. On top of that it is $40, so there is barrier to entry. I feel bad for the developers, but the marketing team did not do enough research.
