What it launched against
Blue Rider launched on 3 March 2016, within three weeks of Tom Clancy's The Division, Dark Souls III, Stardew Valley and SuperHot. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Tom Clancy's The Division, Dark Souls III, Stardew Valley, SuperHot.
