Click here to tell us what you think!OUR BIG WAVE HAS WASHED OUT! Who is more deserving of hate - Knuckles for committing war crimes, or butthurt Infinite for consistently horrendous trash talk? Speaking as an optimist but also a realist - does this game suffer from many of the same tired tropes and dreadful dialogue as Star Wars Episode 9?
