    The biggest problem I see with “pro” game reviews is that they have to review a game quickly move to the next. They don’t have time to slowly progress with rough open world games and thus complain about bloat. They also don’t have time to put into most games as service which are vastly different 6 in months they are at launch. And that’s understood by the rank and file gamer. They also complain that games are repetitive because they are rushing through them in a compressed timeline that is not realistic for most gamers. To be honest, most games are repetitive if you boil them down to the basics.

Add the fact all reviews are subject to a person’s mood and personal opinions and it’s a recipe for disaster. Reviewers like Mitchell Saltzman have busted their ass to stand out and be a trusted source when it comes to fighting games and souls likes. I do not envy them is all I’m trying to say.
