(ARCHIVED) Games you aren't allowed to like: Community Submissions Edition
Since I'm already getting comments suggesting that I add specific games to my list about reviewbombing/hate campaigns, I figured I might as well add a variant that lets the community speak. I can only say so much with that list because I don't follow the reception of every game ever made, so I figured I might as well pass that on to others. I will credit any and all submissions given to me!
Just so there's some groundwork here: I have very little quality control for this list. The quality control I do have is just to make sure I don't grind myself against The Paradox of Intolerance. Basically, as long as you aren't bigoted, you're welcome! I don't often add constructive criticism, but if I feel the need to, I'll try my best to do so without dogpiling the writer. My mission statement here is to let the community breathe in ways that Top Reviews and eloquent writers smother. I'm tired of having to compare my work to others because that can be real bullshit, and I don't think others should have to feel the same, either.

Three new anonymous contributions added. I'm noticing a trend here.
Three new contributions have been added: two anonymous and one with a name attached. Thank you!
Also another one I got a personal request to add before these three. My bad, I forgot to mention that.
Owing to my lack of clarification on what the ranking I have in my form means, I have updated it.

Five new submissions, with only one being anonymous. All but one of them are Half-Hearted, I assume due to my decision to make my scale less "making it up as I go along", which is fine.

One new anonymous submission. I felt like there were some issues with the writing, so as a first, I provided constructive criticism next to the submission itself. I don't intend to downplay the effort made by the writer; any and all submissions (granted they meet the bare minimum requirement of my quality control) are welcome here, and I'm open to seeing writers stumble on their words so they have the chance to grow and learn. There are a lot of people on the internet who will tell you that your writing is shit or don't frame it kindly enough for you to want to learn from them. If I can disrupt that in any way, I'd like to.
I took a break today, so I'm only adding the new submissions now. Since @cyanplaza had issues with the fact that Hogwarts Legacy is on either on these lists (I understand and respect their concern), I'm proud to announce that another tradition from my previous list is carrying over, and I will be shouting out a review of theirs that I don't feel has gotten the recognition it quite deserves.
Since my intent for this list is already to encourage community, you'll find it sandwiched between that particular submission and the constructive criticism I've given it.

Four new entries, two of which are anonymous. I'll cut to the chase and say that the legendary @Erato_Heti contributed to the first of the four. Good stuff!
To add more clarification: DLC is totally allowed, and from this point forward, "Humorous" refers to any review written in a silly tone, even if you agree partially/wholly with what you're saying. I'm not the greatest at these things, so I apologize for the confusion I've incurred.
