游戏评分颁奖界迎来了属于自己的乐邦詹士。就连其粉丝群体特有的虚空索敌、反串、立挡箭牌、不提水平只吹数据这块都一脉相承。互联网喜欢造神，环大陆也不例外。33号远征队是史上最强应试游戏，是作为goty最名不副实的游戏，也是我至今玩到过的唯一一款同时被游戏质量和场外因素恶心到的游戏。一部及格线水平的“缝合式”虚幻五“独立游戏”被评分媒体和流量裹着吹成游戏史上的第一，自发售前一个月各种宣发就没停过，开游戏店的小老板为了抬实体碟价格也开始跟着在自媒体上发视频造势预热，无脑跟着媒体屁股后面吹嘘这款游戏一度成为大众的舆论导向。实际上这游戏就是在远超独立游戏制作规格的情况下勉强达到优秀独立游戏的水平而已，质量上根本达不到goty，名不副实花架子罢了。3卫兵反复重复好评率和投票票数，只字不提游戏质量，因为提了就不攻自破了。照他们的意思那是不是好评如潮的游戏都配得上年度最佳了？这游戏玩下来除了吸引新人小白入圈和使得云玩家颅内高潮，以及优秀的作曲外，就没有其他优点了，最开始玩了10小时，如果是xgp玩的话我早就卸了，但毕竟花钱买了，我就捏着鼻子又打了一段时间，并一直在潜意识里希望自己能对这款游戏本身有所改观，毕竟33号远征队可是mc评价数量及评分都爆杀gta5、巫师3、博德之门3等一众神作的“神作”，觉得不好一定是我的问题吧，但最终游戏糟糕的质量还是打了我的脸。作曲可圈可点，但无聊拖沓的玩法使得战斗和
