A game needs to be evaluated by what it wants to do and how it does it, not on how you want it to be.

Unless you find it ok that anyone takes 50 points from all games that are cartooney because they like photorealism or vice-versa.

^ so much this.

Same crap with Days Gone, getting bad review scores because they found it offensive towards women or something.
That shouldnt be a real reason to take points off of a review.

From my standpoint people reviewing a game can take off points for anything they want. That's why I like to focus on the content of reviews than the scores attached to it. Even with a game with glowing reviews like Red Dead Redemption 2, I was able to get a sense this was not for me by reading what was praised and what was criticized within reviews that ended with a 100 or a 95.

The same is true for very low scores, you can read them and see what is pointed out and if the flaws highlighted are not a big deal to you then you can still feel confident the game will be good for you.
