Toe stealerrrr. You have a right to your own opinion. It's just that if you're going for constructive feedback on a public platform and you respect artists' time and effort, you should be more kind. Especially when you didn't pay a cent towards development. And it's not up to you to decide if your words have hurt another or not. If you're gonna be out here thanking them for making the game and saying you understand developers are real-life people with real-life responsibilities, maybe your review should reflect that. The reason why positive reviews can be short and "glaze" a story or its characters as you put it is because they're gassing up somebody's baby. If you're gonna look at somebody's newborn and do any form of criticism, you've gotta come correct. You've got to establish that you recognize all the long hours and labor and work that went into that delivery before fixing your fingers to say the baby's ears look funny. And if for some reason after your reflection you still feel it pertinent to criticize that proud parent AND their freshly delivered baby, it is your responsibility to make sure that criticism is not only productive but gentle.
