So Xenoblade X has an 84 on metacritix because there is too much to do and the world is too big?

And someone isn't supposed to finish the game or use 40-100h to evaluate it... if in 5 hours you can't take it any longer your opinion is obviously that you didn't like it. So what is the problem that you need to complain that someone didn't like or obligated himself to put the time on that... the only problem I see would be putting people that distaste the genre to evaluate.

Because if you only played 5 hours of a game that lasts 40-100 hours you wont be able to see everything that the game offers, wont be able to describe accurately in your review what the game is about, giving a poor service to your readers.

If you are playing the game just for fun, thats ok.Its your game and you do what you want with it.But if you are doing reviews for living, and your job is to describe not to yourself, but to others what the game is all about, you cant play 20% of the game and call it a day."Here is my review of the game:The game sucks" That is not a review.If you dont want to do this kind of things, to force yourself a bit to play a game that you need to review(unless the game is downright unplayable), you shouldnt be a reviewer in the first place.

So if you received a book to review and you think it's horrible after 30-50 pages would you say that a honest opinion for a review or critic need to read the other 1950 pages?
