IGN is literally the definition of very vanilla takes in gaming.....

And ehh, literally "YouTubers" are subject to the EXACT same vices. Do people not remember when a bunch of YouTuber's were singing the praises of CP2077 while also being legally denied the ability to use their own gameplay footage (or else CDPR would sue) masterfully creating a false narrative of the game's stability? At the end of the day, EVERYTHING will have a bias and that bias can easily be influenced. We are humans who crave constructing the world or narratives as we see fit. There can just simply not be a review that goes "Game does X, it tells the story of Y and it runs for Z amount of hours... computing score.... 6/10." Every game will elicit a reaction from us and that reaction is what determines the journalism/review.

Metacritic is the best to look at as its a good aggregate for the general consensus on a game.
