Ubisoft didn't make this one, Guerrilla did. And to be fair, I've not found it preachy at all. Granted I don't go looking for reasons to get upset about stuff in videogame or other media I enjoy. Life is too short. But if someone went into this looking for something to get upset about, the fact that you play as a girl and her tribe is run by women, then that might rustle some jimmies. But other than that, I haven't found anything that anything that I consider preachy. Maybe I haven't played far enough yet.

Edit: Ok, I've actually read the article and all I can say is that the guy who wrote is is reading too much into things when he starts saying that Alloy is "the best" at everything and everyone else is incompetant, especially the men. To which I will say, well duh. She is the player character, the player character is usually the best at everything in pretty much every game I've played. They would be pretty shit games if the player character was utter rubbish and had to have everyone else do everything for them while they sat and watched. The problem seems to be the fact that the player character in this game is a woman. I doubt the writer would have a problem if it was a man, despite the game showing Alloy being trained to be a fierce warrior by a man. Which is just sad.

If anyone has a problem with what I said and have their fingers twitching in anger ready to write a scathing response for me. Don't bother, I won't be drawn into a argument about this. Its not worth it.
Ah I see. If Ubisoft isn't behind it then that looks like another reason to look forward to it. I guess I just saw the open world and a few Far Cry/Assassin's Creed-esque mechanics and jumped to conclusions there.

Cheers to another game that doesn't require Uplay!

Dude what even? You don't care, you only play 1st person shooters of the manliest of manly variety. Just let people enjoy things.
Though I have absolutely no interest in either game, I will say that because of this, I'd be far more likely to get Nier: Automata than I would Horizon: Zero Dawn. Mainly because the story of H: ZD is preachy as all hell.
It is? I haven't actually heard anything about the story yet. I never thought of Ubisoft as the kind of company to produce preachy games, since being safe and cautious is often the cornerstone of their designs.

is this a new trend now?

Whenever a game gets a good score people get mad and say video games media lies and they nit pick a bunch of things they don't like and the generally praised game is actually a turd or just average fodder.
New? It has been a thing since "overrated" was first used in gaming.

what games do these people enjoy?
Call of Duty. /s

Awwww, shucks. But hold the applause, I'll probably say something dumb next time.
