No, but if on the fence and it is an 86 vs a 66, it would be stupid to NOT take it into account.

Thought the IGN review was fine and considerate of the bigger issue surrounding the game.

This game, a PS5 game, having loading and framerate issues is baffling

Were people hoping it was a bad game so their boycott would feel more justified. It seems once it started becoming obvious the game might be an all time great game the boycott comments seemed to have died down on social media.

A good score was to be expected. Previews have been very positive. And anyone who thinks that critics should be giving low scores because of Rowling are being immature. IGN explains it quite well actually:

Concerning J.K. Rowling
The elephant in the room with Hogwarts Legacy is Harry Potters creator, J.K. Rowling, whose comments about transgender people in recent years have left a sour taste in the mouths of many current and former Potter fans, both at IGN and in the world at large. This has driven some to call for a boycott of the Wizarding World altogether including Hogwarts Legacy, though Rowling was not directly involved and there are good reasons (both in-game and out) to believe the developers at Avalanche dont necessarily share her views. Regardless, IGN has always and will continue to champion human rights causes and support people speaking with their wallets in whatever manner they choose.
As critics, our job is to answer the question of whether or not we find Hogwarts Legacy to be fun to play and why; whether its ethical to play is a separate but still very important question. So just as in virtually all cases, were choosing to expose and address the views of the franchise creator separately from our consideration of the work of the hundreds of game developers and evaluate Hogwarts Legacy as it stands, leaving behind-the-scenes context to be considered in addition to that evaluation, rather than in place of it, so that it can be weighted according to your own values.

Yeah, like, I'm not in this to stick it to trans-rights activists. I just want to play a good Harry Potter game. I've imagined a Harry Potter action-RPG where you play as your own student at Hogwarts since I was a child and I'm happy that it's not only a reality, but it's apparently genuinely good.

I was under the impression that it was impossible for the game to be good because Avalanche Studios had only made shovelware before and it was therefore incapable of producing a great AAA game (this was an original opinion that I arrived at on my own btw).

This IGN review is already super sus and I'm only 2 minutes in.

How did they give this game 9 out of 10 when every sentence in this review is phrased like "this feature is pretty good but kinda annoying but mostly not too bad".

Just IGN being IGN?
