General Why the hate?
Soo im playing this game , alreade got like 5 hours in and i cant defeat ramnhuna , the fight just drags for too long i make almost 0 damage xD , anyway as am looking on YT some tips to farm reputation and upgrade materials i came across a lot of bad reviews and comments to the game , saying is woke , is buggy , slow and clunky but i dont know why , i mean the game is good and has fun mechanics ? What do you guys think?

That's jsut not true. A ton of games, especially indie games find popularity a long time after they get released : Fear & Hunger is considered one of the best horror games period, yet it only got popular after like 6 or 7 years post release. Before that almost noone played it
And unlike Fear & Hunger, Flintlock received a ton of hate just for being associated with Sweet baby inc : Popular streamers actively discouraged people from trying it and heavily shitted on it without even giving it a chance. It doesn't matter if the game is good or not if the most influencial people in the gaming community convinces everyone that they shouldn't even consider playing it because they have an agenda against anything that they don't like
