Recent reviews of Far Cry 5 on multiple sites including Polygon and Kotaku have focused more on the political and social ideology that the Critic espouses than they did the game itself. As Ubisoft had no intention of making a political statement of any kind with the game, I am concerned that games critics are doing a disservice to their viewers and readers by making their reviews more about the political than about the game.
