The overwhelming majority of reviews are in the 70s which as @Keyser_Soze said really isn't indicative of scoring based on performance but rather reflects simply a "middle-of-the-road" game.

Next up on Steam: Immortals Fenyx Rising on Steam STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM Immortals Fenyx Rising brings grand mythological adventure to life. Play as Fenyx on a quest to save the Greek gods.

Updated the reviews post one last time for the hell of it

Update: the Peruvian Congress has deposed him and he has been arrested/detained:

I guess I'll have to contact my family in Lima to get an on-the-ground report!

Oh man - that would be magnificient!

My favorite line of the speech was the one where he described his pastor father who was also a car repairman as someone who fixed broken cars during the week and fixed broken people on Sunday.

There's nothing wrong with being a "hypocrite" - you just need to be more nuanced about it!

Oh boy. That right there borders on "white privilege" for ignoring the actual voter suppression measures that African-American voters had to overcome to seal this victory for Reverend Ralph. So how about being somewhat more nuanced in your condemnation?

That was absolutely one of the examples I had in mind in writing that! I am unabashedly pro-Persian empire and would've relished the defeat of the proto-fascist Spartan state at their hands!

One more point: let's not lose sight that the values and morals of the liberal/secular "Global North" are a complete and total anomaly among all others that exist in the world today and that there was nothing historically pre-ordained or pre-destined about their birth, development, flourishing (for some but certainly not for all), and survival. Those values and morals were one successful Mongol invasion, resurgent bubonic plague, over-zealous inquisitor or any one of innumerable historical inflection points away from being strangled in their metaphorical cradle. So let's not be too dogmatic about their universal relevance, shall we?

I will gladly admit that I am a moral/cultural relativist and that I largely reject the concept of universal moral standards. I categorically reject the concept of the "soft bigotry of low expectations" as it tip-toes up to the line of being right-wing propaganda that wears a cloak of "intellectual respectability" that blissfully, deliberately ignores the context and conditions of...well, everything. Personally, I have zero qualms about applying a so-called double standard to matters that involve a dichotomy between a "dominant" culture (for example, the "white", relatively liberal/relatively secular cultures of the "Global North") and a "subordinate" one (for example, the "non-white", relatively conservative/relatively religious cultures of the "Global South"). To me, the sheer economic/social/political, etc. power differential (and to say nothing of the history itself) effectively demands a relativistic approach to practically every aspect of human relations between them. To do otherwise smacks of continuing the old historical patterns with their infinitely negative feedback loop. In more instances than perhaps most people will care to admit, the much-maligned concepts of "relativism", "double standards", and "hypocrisy" are the correct approaches to complex issues that defy the application of "universal" standards (much like the notion of "free will", those universal standards don't actually exist anyway, but again much like "free will", let's entertain the notion that they do) as those relativistic approaches are the ones that -- as imperfect as they are -- at least attempt to mitigate the power imbalances and address the historical wrongs.

That one never even counted to begin with
