Title is tongue in cheek, of course—they probably are gamers. I get that making a game is complex and full of trade-offs, and you can’t please everyone. Still, there are certain design decisions that just feel like they weren’t made by people who play games regularly.

Oooh, grounded felt like they didn't play test for solo players. The end game suddenly got very grindy, and I decided not to finish because of it. Loved the game otherwise. I'm hoping they will try to balance it more for the second game
