I wonder why online boardgame commentary has gotten worse over time. I checked out the popular reviewers and didn't see anything as thoughtful as, e.g., the reviews in The General back in the day.
E.g., the most popular reviewer panned Sniper Elite because you can "run and gun", but the player who did that lost. If there's a degenerate, unthematic, strategy that works, that's a legit criticism, but saying that a game sucks because you can do a bad strategy that fails is pretty silly.
