Slant Magazine just released their review and, as expected, they gave it a far lower score than the average (7/10). They do that with almost every popular game that comes out. They gave Dragon Quest XI a 6/10, Ni No Kuni II a 5/10, Mega Man 11 a 4/10, Xenoblade 2 a 4/10, Breath of the Wild a 6/10, Gravity Rush 2 a 3/10, etc.

I don't get why they're still taken seriously. It feels like they review the game based on what will be more controversial, and not what they actually think of it.

Reviews are subjective. The reviewers for those games just didn't like them. 

Yeah, I agree. It's not about this one specific review, it's about how frequent they are. If you go to a popular game that Slant has reviewed on Metacritic, their score will most likely be the lowest. And it's not like they have some incredible standards or anything, most of their reviews for smaller games align almost perfectly with the Metascore.
