So if I upload a video on youtube saying I think game x sucks, and this opinion is based on my error on a bad judgment from me, I should be sued????

If the publisher has good reason to believes that your error could have made a significant negative impact on their sales then yes. That would depend on how large and influential of a youtuber you are, and digital foundry is pretty big.

Absolutely not.  If it's just someone's opinion, it doesn't matter what it does to sales, it's still protected speech.  If it's done maliciously and is false, then yes, it was intentional and done specifically to hurt the publisher.  It does not matter how big the publisher is, the motivation is what matters.
