Other reviews are stating there is a great balance. I don't know who to believe!

Luckily, there are no spoilers in the reviews right now. I only read a few from people I know.

Sure, but they're probably the most negative ones out there.

Yeah, by far the most negative I've seen (but well written per usual), but then again I've only skimmed through about 6 reviews total at this point. Judging by the meta blurbs, most of the other major gaming outlets are giving it a 10/10.

I don’t play these types of games. But I am absolutely impressed with them.

I've never purchased a special edition for any game. I have enough useless stuff around the house.
