Reviews - Should Graphics Effect The Score?

I guess my viewpoint stems from my background as a 3D artist. I have a great appreciation for the efforts and talents of the great teams of people that sweat blood to make such beautiful art.

I personally don't see how a reviewer is more "sophisticated" because they can ignore the mere "cosmetic, superficial" concerns when I consider it as such; art.

"Nothing is wrong with it at all! If you enjoy it, go nuts. It is not, however, a profound concern, and therefore shoudl be ignored by reviewers. "

- Isn't this a paradox? How can you agree to reward them and ignore them at the same time?

EDIT: You further contradict yourself when you freely admit to graphics enhancing your enjoyment but then state that they're irrelevant.

 

I suggest YOU reward them, not I.

Where do I say that graphics enhance my enjoyment? I specifically said that they do not. I said that they apparently enhance your enjoyment, which again is totally fine.
