Did it not line up with yours? Congratulations, you’re human with your own tastes 👍 Social media creates soooo much hate it’s unreal
i think the real problem here is presenting a score and a personal opinion at the same time. Ben Croshaw makes a point of not assigning scores in Fully Ramblomatic because that sets the wrong expectations. I would clearly separate the personal opinion in an article from the review score, which should be as objective as feasible rather than people giving wildly different scores because some reviewers REALLY like card games or whatever.
