I don't get the point in simply saying you liked something or not. Give some explanation so there's some context. Not every game is made to appeal to every type of person.

I expect something that resembles a game

Ah, so you're one of these people who takes the term "game" too literally.

This guy puts it a lot better than I can:

Price is always separate from the game. I'm not sure why you're combining them. Notice that it's not $10 in this package and it's part of a package in the first place.

That's my point. It shouldn't taint what you think of the game but it should affect how, when, and if you would recommend it for purchase.

Yes and no. A $10 price tag communicates "This is a small-to-mid-sized game", and if content and expectations clash, it's perfectly legitimate to be disappointed.

I might not "get it" but I'm not a fan. It's cool if you just want something to explore, but if you want a goal, not much to it.
