Reviews for media are tough yo. It's a hard balance between trying to apply some objective analysis, understanding, and criticism of a game's operations, structure, and functions, while at the same time providing what is ultimately a subjective viewpoint on enjoyment and emotional resonance. Honestly, this is my personal grievance with both most reviews and fan response to reviews (positive and negative). People are generally pretty shitty at finding the perfect balance and responding attempts at that balance with empathy and understanding. The whole "X/10" scoring system is a nasty contributor to this, trying to apply a measurement to something that ultimately cannot be measured.
That being said, the Vile Self review is poor for basically these reasons; it's a long whine about many subjective perspectives from other reviews, proclaiming them wrong because they don't match his own subjective opinion, while applying objectivity in form of a positive to components that are subjective. Two examples of this being highlighting the "QTE options" in the lycan knife fights and his perspective of beating the game 100% being "acquire all trophies". The latter is easily contested because on no fucking planet is "get all trophies/achievement" an agreeable consensus for judging game length and replay value, and the former is open to more interesting analysis (largely negative) that he doesn't bother to explore. That doesn't discredit stronger parts of his review and analysis, but it just puts him on the same page as every review he whines about; strengths in critique, and glaring weaknesses/mistakes in the balance of subjectivity vs. objectivity.
End of the day I think The Order is, if anything, definitively polarising amongst both "professional critics" and people playing it. The idea that the official thread is a bastion of positivity is an outright lie. It's just as mixed in there too. And I dunno, I have a thing for games that get people talking, arguing, and thinking. Of all things, The Order is at least accomplishing that.
