Is this the worse game review you've ever read on a reputable site?

I seem to be the only one who liked the review.

The review is more concerned with the game's social commentary than the gameplay mechanics. But if you like to play games as more than pure entertainment, then you need reviews who point out these qualities. Obviously the gameplay is hardly discussed here, but a review doesn't need to cover every angle.

Having a variety of different approaches to reviewing is fine. But if you're going to do something so esoteric, you should probably start a site dedicated to reviewing games from that particular ideology. That way the people who agree with you know where to go (and the people who don't like that approach know where to avoid). You could say that's kinda what's happened with Polygon now. Everyone knows they love injecting social issues everywhere they'll fit (and quite often places they won't).

Just doing it on a mainstream site is so pointless though. You just waste the audience's time.
