It's finally here, the first entry in critic Tevis Thompson's new essay, It's Not Coming Back. Today's entry is The Worst Games of 2018. Whether you agree or disagree, I think Thompson's singular voice needs to be heard and considered. Start here: http://tevisthompson.com/news/
Yes, but there are still staffs at GameSpot, IGN, and other sites that Metacritic tracks, who, intentionally or not, maintain a model of what game reviews should be, how games should be evaluated. And freelancers (who understandably want more work) tend to comply with this model.

I guess I'm surprised you're surprised given games journalism has existed in a money vacuum and intense brain drain for basically ever. Like, it's no wonder thoughtful criticism is only done by a tiny subset of people who mostly do it out of passion - no one pays for that.
