POLL: Is something inherently lacking from a remake/remaster review if critic hasn't completed the original?

[JackHandy]

Yes, if the game is decades old. No, if it's something like TLOU. Because if it's something from the 90's, most of the sales will come from OGs. And OGs are in it for nostalgia, and to relive their youth. They're going to demand that the game lives up to the original etc. So if the reviewer has never played the original, they will be missing a key component. But if the game is only a five years old, then it doesn't matter, since the crowd won't care.
