I think Tokyo 2020 is actually the most fun Olympic game we’ve gotten in a decade plus too, and I think it works far better as a more casual take than opting to be an authentic sim companion to the Olympics themselves. And I think the game’s easy controls, support for local and online multiplayer, uncluttered HUD and UI, and straightforward interpretations of most games included, work in its favor.
While I understand the disappointment those looking for a more authentic or grounded take on the Olympics may feel, I think Tokyo 2020 works really well for what it is, and is a fun and involved party and multiplayer game that knows that sometimes, less really can be more.
