Look at me! I am playing badly reviewed games and having fun!

Another thing I just tought about.

The reviews for Cursed Mountain stated that the control scheme was deficient. That your motions were not properly read and that it lead to frustration. I have played the whole thing from beginning to end and LEARNED how to used the controls. Sure, at first they are tough to master but in the end, I got it right EVERY TIME.

This leads me to think that some reviewers give some game a very shallow look before giving their reviews. And in my mind, that's not fair.

I think that as well. I've seen too many reviews that describe parts of games incorrectly, even the positive reviews (so even those are likely decided beforehand).

I've seen that in several games. I saw one Enchanted Arms review that it was obvious that the reviewer only played the first couple hours of the game. They review complained that the game was constantly how do things, how to climb ladders for instance. Enchanted Arms only does that in the initial area of the game. One review for The Last Remnant the reviewer didn't know that if you hit X you can see what attacks each of you characters is going to do. On the other hand for heavily hyped games, they'll be glaring flaws that they over look.
