But then who would oversee the one that oversee the reviewers?
This is not a problem of the lack of someone or something that regulates reviewers.After all, reviews are simply opinions, and people have the right to have either a bad or good impression out of something and express about it.What we really need is more professionalism.
I didnt read that review in particular, because people warned me about it having massive spoilers about the game, so I stayed away from it, but it would not be the first review to do so(make a bad review for the clicks).What really needs to improve is the professional integrity of those reviewers, and one way that I see that principle could be reinforced is the temporary ban from metacritic for example.Lets say that metacritic hires people to read reviews published in their website.If they find that some sites keeps doing bad reviews(as in the reviewer is not doing an informed review and/or see that they have some beef against the game/developer), they should remove them from putting their reviews in metacritic in the future.That way they could reinforce people doing honest reviews, without taking their freedom of speech.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
