ALthough I know this happens, I don't think critics are getting worse, I think gamers are getting worse. When people anticipate a game nowadays they want it to have the highest metacritic possible and attack any review which doesn't serve this purpose. What recent games were reviewed like shit by recognisable websites? Genuine question.
In the 90s people wouldn't go around looking at every single publications review of a game, the same way they do in the internet age.
With the water gate people fixated on that summarised statement as if the game literally got a 7.8 because "there was too much water", completely ignoring the points regarding balance and the game clearly favouring grass and electric types, water as a jarring environment to transverse. People also buy the assumption if someone has nothing negative to say then a game deserves a 10, not how it works lol. I think the arguement in that case was more how do people approach remakes or games which stick to a very familiar blueprint.
