I also created a new account just to comment on this review. I'm not interested in arguing opinions, but this review is simply unprofessional on several levels. 1. The reviewer based his score on his opinion of other PSVR games as far as the size of the playerbase is concerned. Since FWZH is the first game of this kind, this doesn't seem warranted - and the actual que times are definitely proving the author wrong so far. I've been playing for at least 8 hours every day since the release and I haven't bumped into the same player twice unless I queued with him. I've seen several people who got level 20+ on day 2. They were basically playing for 30+ hours straight. This wouldn't be possible if what the reviewer said about player numbers was right. 2. The reviewer focused more on the platform in question than on the game itself. I'm pretty sure that PSVR owners don't need Sammy to tell them that their community is smaller than the pancake PS4 community, or that playing multiplayer PSVR games involves some waiting. The review does not contain any information pertaining to FWZH's performance in terms of traffic when compared with other PSVR games. Consequently, the reviewer ends up reviewing PSVR as a whole instead of reviewing FWZH as a PSVR game. 3. Just a minor gripe, but the term "ranking system" implies that there's an ELO system in place, which isn't the case, at least the moment.
Given the fact that the review simply missed its mark and doesn't discuss the game itself, as it is, I'm not even surprised about the score. I mean yeah, PSVR is, at best, a 6/10 multiplayer platform. However, FWZH is definitely not a 6/10 PSVR game.
