Professional game reviewers have skewed the scores so high that you would think almost every game is a historical landmark. When there is a genre-redefining game, it gets a 9, which should be fine, but then it sits there with 5 other games that got a 9 that month like Soccer Paywall 20XX and Loot Box Royale Part 40, and we wonder why we get so few innovative games. I’m not really making any sort of a joke, game journalism is just really in a rut and holds power they will never use for good.
