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.
Ok man, I feel like banging a wall here. It is as it is, BG3 is the top rated game this year, along with Zelda and both will be competing with Starfield for GOTY. This is the reality, and no amount of bitterness from your side will change that. And this want diminish rpg genre at all. Obsidian will deluver a solid Avowed, I'm sure and Inxile was surprised everyone with Clockwork Revolution. CDPR will blow our minds with The Witcher 4 and later with next Cyberpunk. They'll just have more incentive to give us even the better game. Because they now know it can be done.
