No, I'm not arguing against reviews in general, I'm arguing against reviews without a score.
Gradient scores allow a quick comparison of games (of the same genre), which helps with the preselection.
After the preselection, I read a few reviews of the most promising candidates.
If I want to buy a new action-adventure and 100 of the 300 new action-adventures are in the "good category", I don't want to read 100 reviews (or 200 or 300 for different opinions. Instead I want to sort these 100 good games by score and then read the reviews of the top 10.
And if I want to gift a bad game to my friend for the lulz, I want to gift a REAL bad one... without reading through hundreds of reviews.
So a sorting option by score is also welcome for bad games.
