There is a specific way you can look at art. You can appraise it on a technical scale, assess its merits, and incorporate a rubric to try and determine how you ultimately feel about it. That's what my reviews in large part do. However, you can go more free-form and say "This piece of art impacted me in this way that I cannot quantify.", sort of like you're explaining the emotions it evoked out of you and leaving them out for a third-party audience to mull over.

So, in the spirit of trying something new, I will simply say that Sonic Heroes is a video game that has brought the most misery and unhappiness out of me that I can ever recall of any piece of art. Trying to 100% this game was nothing short of a waking nightmare, and it brought out such severe anger in me that I wasn't actually aware I was capable of. This game significantly reduced my capacity to experience joy or contentment during the entire time I was playing it. Every time I sat down to play it, I walked away unquestionably feeling worse.

That is my review of this game.
