In this thread we will all write one-paragraph reviews for polygon dot com

"The gameplay was solid, the platforming engaging and the sense of exploration was really rewarding and fluid, but a fat Italian stereotype is culturally insensitive and misrepresents European immigrants, participating in a culture of oppression that has persisted for centuries, so I give it a 6." --Super Mario Bros

"The mechanics were great and the storyline engaging, gritty and unique for its genre. The customization options were stellar, the magical effects and graphical tricks were historical precedents and the music was out of this world. However, it suffers from having a single black father succumbing to the stereotypes of swearing, violence and he's absent from his daughter's life, perpetuating damaging stereotypes that hurt the black community. I also feel it is disrespectful to Furries by having the only representation of the subculture turn traitor. 5/10." --Final Fantasy VII

"The gunplay had a puzzle-like element to it that rewarded accurate shooting and quick aiming. The control scheme was both classic and refined, the graphics presented the action cleanly and the monster designs were excellent, especially the enemy A.I. However, it is brought down by having a damsel in distress that is central to its story, thus relegating once again the woman's role to be saved by a man, and spoiler alert she even offers him sex as a reward. 4/10." Resident Evil 4.

I remember on a podcasts someone mention his GF and he said "I don't call her that" and the guy goes "what" and he's like "she's not a girl"

She's a woman! Get it because not all women are girls!

The best WW2 game ever created, unfortunately during the beach invasion the game creators don't point out that the German soldiers were just following orders. 2.5/10

Repetitive and unresponsive gameplay, uninspired design, boring narrative. Normally we'd give this 9 out of 10 because we don't want the publisher to stop giving us review copies of their games far enough in advance for us to publish a review of the game before it hits the shelves, but because the amount of attention paid to the twelve year girl's rear end would make anyone who understands the concept of shame embarrassed to play this game in front of anyone, ever, we're going to give it 8.75 instead.

[correction: owing to the political nature of this article, we have fired the reviewer and given "They're actually 600 year old demons they just look like they're 12" a score of 9/10]

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

Despite the controversy driven up by sexist racists who were challenged by the fact that you're essentially paying full retail price for a 12 minute Pizza Hut commercial that only has a 20% chance of loading, those who are truly right-thinking will be blown away by a another beyond perfect game from Microsoft Studios! 11.5/10

Microsoft® Pizza Hut® Crusty Challenge® for Windows® Xbox® for Zunegroups™ was reviewed using a quarter of a million dollars provided by Microsoft Studios. You can find additional information about Polygon's ethics policy here.

This masterful platformer has that great traditional feel along with some new elements never yet seen. Unfortunately it goes against science and caters to the religious right by implying dinosaurs and humans existed at the same time.

I don't have an issue with the editors using Polygon as a platform for social critique in games.

But lol forever at them taking tons of money from Microsoft and pretending they don't have the stink of impropriety with every article they publish.

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
A challenging beginning chock full of false starts, I strained to continue but eventually the mechanics clicked and the finish was fluid, supple as soft served ice cream - My poo poo this morning 9/10 would poop again
