It's just possible there is a happy medium to be found between, let's say, taking a collective load from the game devs in the face in some sort of glorious sycophant bukkake triumph months before the game comes out, or condemning it as the Antichrist in game form, sent to us on leathery wings from brimstone-reeking smilers with the knives behind their backs.
I haven't seen anything untoward from the developer team that I found particularly scandalous or inappropriate in how they discuss their game or what they want to do with it. All I see is the resultant hyperbole their previews generate around forums, both positive and negative. I think all of it's very, very far removed from any kind of rational reality.
As to the review itself, I'm staying agnostic on the game myself but this is why I stay far, far away from all forms of amateur journalism. It reads to me as "I died too much, unfair, also the alien is played out so why are they making a game about it? I was hot and tired." When you've been unfortunate enough to attend film festivals with these guys present, you've heard this rhythm and blues before.
