      Some people are once again reacting to one critic liking a game less than other critics as if it’s a sign that’s something wrong. Shouldn’t part of the benefit of multiple review outlets be that we get multiple valid perspectives on a game?

      I just never see the point of "I don't like this genre" reviews. Nobody needs to get paid to write 800 words about how people who don't like Dynasty Warriors wont like a Persona skinned Dynasty Warriors game. Podcasts are great for that perspective, reviews are problamatic.

      Western review sites not caring about musou isn't a diverse opinion, it wasn't until they started smuggling the genre in with Zelda that it escaped being the genre you shovel off to the intern to review. FPS games don't get stuck with that situation.

      I think this notion that every game should be reviewed by someone who’s predisposed to love it is a huge problem. Do we just want fan celebrations that validate our tastes or do we want real critical engagement? Those two things are at odds with each other.

      Nobody will ever be as predisposed to love something as someone who doesn't like the concept of the game will be to dislike it. People who love a genre are incredibly critical down to the minute detail. All that a person who doesn't can tell you is their cold as hell take genre.

      Where are all these “incredibly critical” reviews you speak of?

          An 8 out of 10 that talks specifically about how the combat compares to contemporaries is more critical in the traditional sense than a more negative review with no depth or insight into the game. A 6 from a fan is more damning than a zero from someone who doesn't like the genre.

          I don't think there's "one right way" to do it. Some shooter expert talking about Fortnite might have qualms about how the shooting compares with other games but if another critic disregards that entirely to talk about tone, setting, other mechanics, etc., that's fine by me.
