Not necessarily, but I'd agree it'd be at least limited in its scope.Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion. That's what the thread is for. But, to give such a low rating and to write a review that focuses on only that single aspect as a critique is... well... Idiotic. That is just my opinion. Something we are all entitled to (which you, so eloquently, pointed out) and presented in what I consider the appropriate place - comments. Not a "review" of the overall quality and entertainment value of a product.
There is currently a certain new mainstream game that is getting 'reviewed' by many outlets, without talking about the game mechanics at all. One might argue those aren't real reviews just the same (and many people do argue that). But one can't deny they focus on their angle, which will be the same as many people holding the same beliefs. Both reviews and comments are opinion pieces, reviews are just easier to find.
Reviews are always a personal opinion and one shouldn't expect them to be anything else. It's the readers' job to read several, and follow the recommendation of those who seem closest to their likes & dislikes.
