    I understand that they can’t let you play indefinitely before returning a game, but I find 2 hours very little to see if you like a game, especially for complex games.

    Other games, like Rimworld or Cities: Skylines need some hours in before they make it obvious that they’re horrendously optimized or have otherwise questionable decisions (like imperfect pathfinding) that will annoy you.

    Some indie games only have a few hours of content. They don't want to get in a position where people can basically play complete indie games without the developers being paid for it.

          In addition to what other people already said, without looking at the actual percentages, this could also just be random fluctuation.
          Mostly Positive is 70-79%, Mixed is 40-69%. If a game teeters around the 70% mark, it can easily cross the threshold separating the two due to pure chance, in either direction.

            In the case of Oblivion Remastered (not the proper one, the Bethesda one) it seems closer to #2. It has very similar reviews to this screenshot. A lot of people were excited and happy to play it, but as time went on people found that the game was actually moderately bugged and has many progress breaking issues that the devs ignore. I'm assuming that Bethesda released this purely to undermine Skyblivion, but it's clear which dev team cares about what they produce. Side note, the absolute scumbags charge £50 for it. A remaster should never be above £20

            Did that happen? I bought Oblivion Remastered on release day and had minimal problems with it, it's a Bethesda game so some are to be expected. I've run through it twice now and have had a blast.

              Oh shit, this is for Oblivion Remastered 😂

              Edit: Before I read the new reviews let me guess... This is because Virtuoso is laying off 300 employees?

              Edit 2: I didn't spot a trend, just the typical complaints e.g., entitlement, bugs, greed, boring, people with potatoes.

                How do we do that for the timeline itself, though? Can't say it's much different IRL. 😅

                      I can understand they want some more money but since I already own the game, it is a graphic improving DLC. Should be £10-£15 max.

                        I also hate it when changes to the game ruin it. Every time I have seen this happen there were changes to the game for the worse that are easy to confirm by looking at where the decline starts and checking out reviews shortly after.

                        Adding microtransactions, breaking the game, trying to enforce a 3rd party login requirement 3 months after the game was a massive success...

                            Does that mean Bethesda actually fixed 95% of their release bugs?

                                  But the update is so much more work than a horse armor dlc which is a lot of money for no content.

                                    Indecision, frankly

                                    When you're 30 mins into cooking a brace of coneys, if you don't know whether you're boiling or mashing your potatoes, you're kinda negligent. If your fucking plan is to put the spuds in the fucking stew, I think you need to step away from the pot and really take a long hard look at the clown you've become, because that should have happened half a fucking hour ago.

                                        They will sometimes refund it after the 2 hr playtime, but you have to actually escalate the ticket to get a chance at that refund.
