The artist's first problem is their concern for reviewers; the only critique that matters is that of the purchaser.

These days video game criticism is all about driving page views; and negativity draws eyes better than the alternative.

Except purchasers read reviews, and look at the metacritic score...

The vast majorly of games I buy are from word of mouth or from seeing it on YouTube or Twitch. I think game reviews are somewhat of an anachronism when you can just watch the game to see if you'd like it.
