I read the Polygon review when it was published, and my very first thought was your same reaction. The title was something along the lines of "This game doesn't know what it wants to be" or something similar, when they should have titled it, "This game doesn't shit on enough non-leftists". It was a feeble, thinly-veiled attempt to inject their own personal politics into the review by bringing down the title for not subscribing 100% to their SJW bullshit.
