I can't agree to that.  Look at some of the scores for BotW.  A few people scored it significantly lower than everybody else.  The questions is why bother getting upset?  If somebody thought Death was a boring tedious slog feast...  they are suppose to give it 9/10 because Kojima?  Because Sony?  The idea that Sony games are reviewed more harshly is silly.  GoW, Uncharted 1-4, TLoU, Horizon, Spiderman, MHW and many more scored amazingly well.  Sony fans, in this case, are being silly.  There simply isn't a media wide conspiracy against Sony.

Edit

As an example I would review RDR2 a 5/10, I hated it.  Same with Sekiro.  The idea that I HAVE to be trolling because I didn't like a critically acclaimed game is foolish.  I sincerely and genuinely didn't like the game.  As a point of clarity, I hated Xenoblade on the Wii U as well.  I also don't like Animal Crossing.

On the flip side, I would give Last Guardian a 10/10, loved it.   

Well, I don't care about supposed troll reviews with Death Stranding. It probably does have some serious flaws that make one or two reviewers just hate it. But with Sekiro, RDR2, and Xenoblade X, I think those games just aren't for you. Not liking a game because of the genre is different than not liking the game for other reasons. Nobody should review a game in a genre that they don't like. And some people just don't have enough experience with games to have any business reviewing them. I've seen freelance writers in their 40's that barely play games, get thrown a JRPG review. The result is cringeworthy. 

Genre has nothing to do with it though.  I love DQ11 and Xenoblade Chronicles.  I absolutely adore Souls.  I just didn't like X and Sekiro, for many reasons.  That is the problem with the posts in this thread.  Everybody wants to normalize reviews.  Problem being you can't normalize a subjective opinion.

Edit

I also thought UC1-3 were perfection, but thought UC4 was meh.  Most people disagree and found UC4 to be bliss.  I shouldn't be forced to review UC4 higher because Sony.  I would give it a 6/10.
