No is not really that subjective, there is no argument to sustain that claim, there is a very good reason why this game has the biggest amount of perfect scores ever, I know some people hates the fact that is close to perfect when compared to every other open world game, but that's how it is.

But a metascore doesn't dictate subjective experiences. I'm sure you yourself have found flaws, both big and small, in games with high metascores. Heck; I know I always do, that's why I more or less stopped reading reviews during the 7th gen, even huge issues were forgiven or perhaps not even mentioned and crazy scores were dosed out right and left.

You simply can't decide for the entire world that Breath of the Wild doesn't have any subjective issues that could drag down the experience for some. Can't you see how extremely unreasonable that is?

I understand that some people may dislike some aspects of the game but that doesn't make it a flaw, imagine if I don't like power ups/ weapons on racing games, because is just not my thing, and then I pretend this is a big issue with Wipeout or Mario Kart, imagine I dislike cartoony looking games, and then I put BoTW a 3/10 because that drags the game down for me...of course I have the right to dislike it, but that doesn't mean the game is doing it wrong. Some people talk about BoTW as if it was objectively a flawed game, and while technically true since you can find some flaws, is one of the last games that deserve to be considered as flawed specially on its genre.
