Remember when people played games first before saying the reviews were wrong.

I was just gonna say this lol. People have always shit on reviews even before getting a chance to play the game themselves.

it's weird how places that review video games can't think to hire journalists that also like video games

Just skimming through the video, it sounds like she barely interacted with anything in the game - no equipment upgrades, no skills, no crafting, no sidequests, etc. - then complained about it. Okay then...

I mean she sounds like she just decided to skip everything, not even bother beating the game and then writes it off as she's not bothered. Why get folk to review a game that they clearly know very little about or even care about what they are reviewing? The "that doesn't add anything so I don't bother" stuff shows her opinions can be ignored. I'd accept a 7/10 if the reviewer actually played the game.

A game that fails to provide motivation to continue playing it is inherently flawed.

How do you know that's the case here? You can't motivate a person who is unwilling to try. Reviewers are often pressured for time so can't totally blame them for attempting to rush through it. It shouldn't be the case, but that's what many of them do.

Ah it sounds like the review was inherently flawed and terrible rather than what the topic initially implied.

That was sneaky mr sneaky boots.

Eeyup. For as long as there have been reviews for games people are excited to buy, people have been enraged by negative reviews because they've decided the game is great before playing it. Twilight Princess is one of the more notable examples in Gamestop's recent history.

Even if the game is mediocre these reviewers in this video are particularly obnoxious

At one point the woman in the middle literally praises a part of the game because a quest had characters that she found interesting, but that she didnt do the quest because she didnt feel like it
