I think he was being sarcastic. 

Edit: I think even vivster was sarcastic but he's a wild card.

Viv is unreadable lol.

 

Maybe he was.  I just get tired of hearing it from those that actually mean it lol.

Yes of course, that's the dumbest excuse ever when just recently a certain cowboy game got love and praise everywhere although it's plagued by multiple issues. What both of these obsevations rather tell us that reviewers tend to rate games for having a heavy atmosphere. If a certain vibe is inherent, if the flow is consistent, if the game manages to get us involved into it's underlying subject, we the players tend to get swayed away by the themes and images and so we like certain games even if they may have some flaws and issues, and I'm fine with that. Every opinion about a game, whether from reviewers or from gamers, is subjective after all.
