Yeah, don't do stuff like this.

I don't agree with the review in the slightest (the whole thing basically centres around his dislike of survival games) but come on.

Anyway, still the number one game on GameRankings and OpenCritic, so if you need to hang onto aggregators, there's that.

So is he not entitled to dislike survival games?

Lots of people dislike survival games, can a review not be relevant for them? Are you only allowed to review games if you're going to love them?

Your whole issue here seems to be, "he doesn't like this style of game." Isn't that LITERALLY what a reviewer is supposed to tell you?

He's entitled to not like it, I don't know why you'd bother to critique something for not being to your personal tastes though. Nothing to be gained from reviews that are just "I don't like *genre*" since that says nothing about the quality of the work. I like Jim, I follow his stuff and listen to his podcast, but it's been obvious he wasn't going to love this one for a long time because of the kind of game it is rather than its quality.

It's why review sites give reviews to people who are accepting of genres rather than to people who don't like them.

I just decided to change this sig.
So yeah.
