- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has received a negative rating due to the tasteless depiction of women.
- The reviewer mentions that the game sexualises women after making them go through untold horrors.
- This seems like a personal bias, and fans are criticising the reviewers because of it.
The review scores of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers by critics have been made public, and the game has received a generally positive reception overall. It has a score of 75 on Metacritic, which is by no means a bad score, but not a particularly good one either.
The main concern of most reviewers was the difficulty in boss fights, as it seemed unfair to them. While that is a fair criticism, unfortunately, some reviewers gave negative reviews because of personal bias. The game received a poor score primarily due to its general attitude toward women.
Why it matters: Personal bias in reviews should be a big no-no. If such reviews are published, then others may follow the same trend, and eventually, everyone would give reviews based on their own taste.
The review constantly mentions how there is a negative attitude toward women in the game and how it is distasteful for women to go through untold horrors, which reward you with a revealing armour set.
This seems like a case with every game that features beautiful women. This has become a trend, as many reviewers have been seen reviewing a game negatively because it features an attractive woman character.
On the other hand, if you remember, Black Myth: Wukong received bad scores because it didn’t feature enough diversity and inclusivity, even though you play as a literal monkey. Another reviewer, while giving the game a pretty solid score, cited “gonner-approved” as a reason in the pros.
This has sparked a massive controversy, as fans actually prefer it when women in video games are attractive. Stellar Blade has received a lot of criticism from journalists, with even the director being targeted. The reviewer stated that the Stellar Blade director has never touched a woman, even though he has a wife.
Journo and their jealousy of real woman.
I was already planning to buy it, you don’t have to sell me.

Fans are actually disgusted by such reviews and continue to criticise those who give games such ratings based on such agendas.
