They can be relaxing, plus they can tell a story more thoroughly sometimes. I don't have a problem with them as long they're upfront about what they are. I remember being in cancer treatment a few years ago and zoning out with Dear Esther; it was pretty nice.

game journalist like them because they think it will legitimize their profession and they want to be taken seriously like film critics.

I can never tell if that game is just an interactive movie is a meme or not.

I mean.. if theres any kind of gameplay at all.. its a video game.

Because they take 0 skill and can just turn off their brain while making their reviews.

This. A lot of game journalists are embarrassed to be game journalists.

I think it's a way to attempt to insult a game for not conforming with your personal tastes.

Anybody who actually respects the art can respect games outside their own personal entertainment.

Its like a choose your own adventure book. It's fun while telling a good story. Sometimes people get different endings and stuff. Like detroit: become human.

"interactive" movies make me wish point n click adventures had a much larger budget.

something like the medium but driven by puzzles, characters and story instead of gimmicks.
