I’ll take that advice into consideration, condescension not included.

And I think I would still argue with the critic. If they’re going to purport to being an objective voice, and then ultimately fall back on subjective tastes, then I have every reason to point out that there rating isn’t objective.

If a game critic said a world based around the ocean had too much water in it, I’d point out that that’s a pretty odd judgement.
