Well in all honesty our local Level gaming magz used to have one of the most nuanced reviews that I have ever read. They went bankrupt of course in 2010 I think. Nothing on the internet really comes close to the level of profesionalism that I have often read from them (not all the staff but there were some). I think the idea that everything is online and they can get hits from other content made gaming journalism a bit more shalow, as the risk of loosing readers just from reviews alone has dropped considerbaly. |
If you include all online outlets, sure. But there are a lot of amateur critics and YouTube personalities that drag down the average.
If you look at more professional publications, though, I think you'll find the last 10-12 years have produced more thoughtful and more academic pieces compared to the 1980s and 90s.
