Soleron said: A review is meant to be: I had a personal opinion on the game, but let me attempt to be objective so I can inform people what /their/ impression is likely to be if they bought it, and hence help them come to a conclusion on whether they should. Attacking a game on specific issues only the reviewer cares about doesn't serve that. The review was fair but the game is competent and entertaining to most potential buyers despite its flaws. |
That is not what a review is "meant" to be. A reviewer must necessarily speak to his own values first; one cannot presume the values of other people.
And I wouldn't have figured you the sort to actually buy this game. I mean, not that the review itself suggests the game isn't competent or entertaining, but this game just seems way, way outside your comfort zone.
