Yea the greater majority of the population wouldn’t like escape from tarkov or even something lighter like a souls game but some of us enjoy the pain.

It is fine that it is subjective, but this is why reviews from a major corporation don’t make any sense. You want reviews from a large number of individuals so that you can get to know some of their taste to see if it is similar to your own. Then you can make a decent guess if you will also find the thing fun.

Not to mention these major review sites rate on a 7-10 scale which is kind of worthless. They are also effectively bribed by game studios so it is actually worse than worthless. It is actively harmful to finding out the truth.

I like ACGs format for reviews along with the rating scale being a spectrum from Buy now, wait for a sale, never touch. He’s the only one I really go to nowadays to see if the new hot thing is worth my money. It usually isn’t haha

Yeah, and e.g. I don’t have much fun with racing game. Doesn’t mean the games are bad and other people, who actually like the genre don’t have fun. This is why you should know the reviewer and their tastes and biases to make a better judgement whether a game is for you or not from a review.
