I make this question to make some debate, since I´ve seen that the overall score from players on the Reboot is 5.0 on Metacritic
[Metacritic Advance Wars reboot camp](https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/advance-wars-1-+-2-re-boot-camp)
The critics reviews give a high 8.2 overall score to the game. Nevertheless, the user score gives the game an awful 4.9. (two days before, it was a 7.8)
The negative critics are mainly to the design that many people consider “ugly” or that the units design affects the gameplay with confusing models. I´ve seen also some people on youtube criticizing the game for this. What´s worse is that at some videos I´ve shared my experience, (which is ositive) and mentioned that for example, the game has voice acting (even if it´s not the best), and the authors of the video told me in comments that they didn´t know about that, what makes me think that they haven´t played the game.
So I´ve brought this issue here, because I disagree with these people, sure the game it´s not a 10, but I assure it´s not a 5 tho. And also, idk why some people hate Advance Wars Reboot Camp that much, the game is enjoyable, the IA is better and doesn´t cheat as the originals, the voices are doubled to many languages (not perfectly as ´ve said before, but makes the characters more memorable) and there are lots of easter-eggs, and incorporates online mode (even if again, it´s not the best)… (For me the game would be a (7.7-8.5) So what is the point of the hate to this game of franchise for being so punctilious?
For me the worst thing is that the franchise could disappear if the game doesn´t sell well thanks to the bad player reviews that feels sometimes unfair.
I think this debate is interesting because I think review bombing is increasing more and more these days.
