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.
