Phil Spencer has told Gamespot he believes some ReCore reviews were written as clickbait at the same time a free trial of the game is available on Windows PC and Xbox One.
“On the reviews, honestly I thought some of the reviews were a little harsh in terms of their view on the game,” he said to GameSpot. “I didn’t try to tell anybody that it was a ten. I think we knew, as with any games, that there are certain things… if we started from the beginning and we knew what we’d get, there’s a couple of things we would’ve done slightly differently.”
Spencer said the same was the case with Forza Horizon 3, referring to a low review from the IB Times.
“We’re very proud of how the game ended up. And I think seven, eight, nine, like anywhere in there is fine. Three or four… I mean somebody gave Forza Horizon 3 a four. I think there’s certain reviews that are written more to get clicked on than they are to actually accurately reflect the quality of the game, and that kind of bums me out.”
A free 30-minute ReCore trial is available on both Windows PC and Xbox One. A ReCore update also addresses long load times.
