Agree with Kat, and would add that there's value in coverage from angles of inexperience. If a skilled reviewer of strategy titles loves a strategy game, that tells me nothing. If someone newer to the genre loves a strategy game and finds it accessible, I might look into it.https://twitter.com/The_Katbot/status/1114220530679214081 …
Fair, I was definitely referring more to the industry as a whole, but I still think I broadly disagree with this. Different outlets have different focuses, and I think as long as the reviewer discloses the angle of their approach, it's neat to see other views.

I think this jives a bit better with my general feeling though which is that game reviews are all too similar in general and I wish every dang review didn't go through the same formula of story, controls, gameplay, visuals, one paragraph about what was bad, then a score.

I can’t say I’ve read a pure-checkbox review (story, graphics, audio, gameplay, etc.) in a while. I guess I don’t read those outlets. I do read (and write) genre- or franchise-expert reviews because that’s the audience I am part of/want to serve.

That’s why I specified “consumer-facing,” i.e. sites where people (based on opinions of friends and internet discussion) go primarily to make purchase decisions. From them, I want an experienced player’s opinion.

But for outlets that serve a more general audience, or an audience other than the typical, core gamer? I don’t want or need a scored, traditional review b/c I get those from the aforementioned, other sites. :)
