Reviews are written so you can learn about games. That is their purpose, that is why they exist. To inform the public about the good and bad qualities of games. This is what good reviews do. Major review sources (IGN, Gamespot, PC Gamer, CGW, etc) generally have a fairly high quality of reviews. That is a pretty well done review.
In short, your "point" in this whole debate is so mind-numbingly stupid that it is almost impossible to believe would still be defending it after such a massive preponderance of evidence has shown it to be not just wrong but fundamentally flawed and based on incorrect interpretations of facts.
Oh yeah, and ignoring what I'm saying and pretending that it has no validity is fine, if you are fine with admitting that you are wrong and that you are a very childish person who has no concept of what "debate" is or how to conduct yourself with a minimum of decorum on even as informal a setting as this message board.
I'd refute your "point" that my opinion is non-existant by again listing the many non-linear RPGs that I have played that are the games that resulted in my forming my opinion, but when you ignore it fifty times why should I expect you to listen on the fifty-first? You'd just say again "You haven't played Morrowind!" as if Morrowind was the only open-ended RPG ever made... which is obviously not true.
