Starts with; havent played it.

Lol, bogus review

[Kamamura]

So this guy know nothing about the game, has not even played, but hates Polygon? Why exactly is this here? The video is about the hate of Polygon writers, not about this game which its author knows nothing about (he even admits it).

[kameltoes]

Polygon and other "game reviewers" are blaming "whiteness" and colonialism for their bad reviews. The person in the video is calling out Polygon and others for it!!!!

[Inardesco]

So....go post it one a polygon related forum

so a bunch of useless politically biased ppl reviewed it no offense but what am i supposed to do with that on steam we can watch Jeremy's video just fine on youtube

... the reason I think those reviews went way off the mark is that, I think, the game itself calls Lara out for doing stuff and going places she shouldn't have.
I honestly expected those sites to focus on that aspect rather than criticizing the game for it.
I don't think the writers want you to agree with what you see and the things you make Lara do.

Not every product of fiction needs to reflect what , according to the authors, is right , and not every single one of the protagonist's actions are supposed to be positive.

Sure, we can discuss all we want about the direction the series has taken compared to the simple "badass lady on a journey for artifacts" of the old games, but to me it looks like, when it comes to fiction, certain sites don't seem to get the message unless every single "positive" character is and acts the way they think it's "right". it's almost like the want that product to spoon them with the same specific checklist of values with no variations allowed. which is, from an author's prespective, kinda narrow minded and boring.

Whatta shame, Places like Polygon and MANY other "mainstream" review sites are no longer capable of reviewing a videogame without using their platform to push their political ideology onto their readers......

You mean like you are trying to push yours here.

Guess what, you are in the exact same boat as them, side by side. You're exactly identical, and no one else cares about your politics. Go hang out with your friends at Polygon and let us play the game.
