This is a great piece. Saw you tweet it a couple of times and finally got a chance to read it. I also wish games crit was more diverse but that’s what happens when most online reviews are written by “fans” and not “writers/critics.”

I’d also argue that this is significantly worse on YouTube and Twitch.

I wonder if the numeric assignment that was prevalent in most early games reviews contributed to the ethos of objectivity that you talk about in modern criticism. If you rate a game a 5, you inherently put it in a space to be compared quantitatively as opposed to qualitatively.

I reread your article and it's still good. But I have always felt there was a distinction between art and entertainment. Some games can be both, but mainstream games at least are often made purely to entertain. So it is no surprise they are judged mostly on that metric.

It is one of the reasons I'm now seeking out games like Pathologic. Because these games seem more like art than something like diablo 3. Which I only ever enjoyed for its lore. If you have the time I highly enjoyed the review of Pathologic by
