Baldur’s Gate 3 is a masterpiece built on a bad tabletop game (www.polygon.com)

The writer got mad when a goblin shoved Astarion off a cliff. It reminded me of when I had Karlach shove a goblin in lava, then a goblin ran up and shoved HER in the lava. I didn’t get mad; I took it as a learning moment: enemies can shove me back, so move away from the lava.

I don't mind the content of the review, it's a fine opinion to have. But, what boggles my mind is the "Polygon Recommends" badge. The tone of the review is so dismissive and negative, I would never have guessed the reviewer enjoyed the game. It's like the writer assumed you read all the site's positive coverage and didn't feel the need to mention the game's best qualities.
