I also remember when MMOs and MOBAs were reviewed without partiality.
PUBG was basically "critically acclaimed" despite being a vapid asset flip that's technically broken, rife with hackers, and artistically bankrupt. It can't even hold up its copyright in court - it's that fucking generic. Casual audiences have driven the industry for a while now but the hype train is bleeding into the review scene, making "professional" reviewers more worthless than ever. Hell, IGN (I know) gave PUBG a fucking 9.5. Hollow Knight scored lower in the same year.
...but yeah, everyone chalks it up to Battle Royale being "fun" and "those most tense experience they've ever had in a game" which is an interesting sentiment. It's almost as if these "people" have never played games before.
Not everyone having opinions that are carbon copies of your own isn't some sweeping problem.
