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?

This is why I often ignore a lot of the highest and lowest reviews for games. The highest reviews often just ignore flaws and the lowest exaggerate or make up flaws. Anyway video game reviews are broken, anything below 80 is considered bad which is just dumb.
