Come on guys. Video game critics have very different preferences and priorities when it comes to game design. Is it so unrealistic that a reviewer wouldn't love Tears of the Kingdom?

I'm sure there are outlets out there who feel, consciously or unconsciously, compelled to highlight a game's negatives to buck popular opinion and/or drive viewership, but I'm equally confident there are outlets who feel compelled to focus only on a game's positives to match fan expectations.

Why do we dissect and impugn a 6/10 review and leave all the 10/10 reviews unexamined?
