You cant call it journalism, most in the business dont have a journalism degree. They are bloggers. That 2/10 The Order 1886 review was awful, no one in good faith could have given such a score. There is nothing broken with the game, for a game to receive such score it should be an unplayable mess.

Yeah;  being allowed to use a keyboard and write a '''review''', posted on Metacritic does not make you a professional reviewer or a journalist.

Lately this word 'journalism' is severely abused;   I agree with you.

since when do you need to study journalism to be a journalist? most reviews arent made by people who have studied journalism.

and living from the money that you make with the reviews makes you a professional reviewer.

sure, journalist should study journalism for skills and ethic, but lets be real, most of the shady persons in the gaming media are journalist with degree.
