Naraka: Blade tip, a parkour melee battle royale out today for PC, starts you in a match against bots. It’s a classic battle royale design choice that is meant to get you up to speed, familiarize you with the core mechanics of the game, and maybe even offer a nice, if artificial, confidence boost. Yet some players are piiiiiiissed.
“The fact that this game is pretending that bots are players is super annoying,” said one gamer wrote on Reddit. “Early games are full of bots to create essentially false first impressions of the game, make you feel good, and sell you that way [past] the refundable period, ”wrote another in a negative Steam review.

If a game doesn’t give me respawns or unlimited lives, it may at least give me some programmatic opponents who haven’t the faintest idea what they’re doing. Today in this cold, cruel world there is little good to be comfortable with. I am human like you – and like you, I enjoy feeling good. Running trains on a number of bots is basically a money-back guarantee for it. Plus, the AI adoption is inevitableSo we should take our victories now while we can.
