Well, because a review is supposed to provide both sides, the pros and the cons, the things that work and the things that fail. But all the reviews completely gloss over the negatives, or even worse they will mention some of the negatives but then say something like "it's fine, this doesn't really matter." This is my point. Sure, if they liked the game, that's totally fine. But why try to downplay or spin the things they found to be negative? And then I could go further and say, well, surely there are also people, potential reviewers, who did have major issues with the game. Why not allow them the opportunity to write reviews? Just look at how that Eurogamer reviewer is being treated, because how dare they give only a 4/5 rating for the game. Clearly at least some people out there are looking to actively suppress negative views/reviews.
