You are not wrong, but there needs to be an overpowering element of objectivity to a review: otherwise, give a person that only plays FPS a turn-based JRPG, and it might get an unfairly low score, and vice versa... one needs to evaluate objectively, noting their own experiences. While that is not the way JS does it, that IMO is the only fair way.

I've never gotten the feeling that Jim's reviews are unfairly subjective. There's also the fact that since he is essentially an independet critic now, he only reviews the game's he wants to review. So if he has no interest in a particular genre, he most likely won't review game's belonging to it.

-> not unfairly subjective -> 1/10 for Senua -> overly low ratings for some (granted, not very good) games

He is very subjective, that is part of what makes him worth watching.
