If there's going to be a stupid numbered score at the end of the review, I do believe the critic should finish the product if it's possible. If not, don't score it and explain why in the critique. I think it would make for a compelling read even without the click-baity number score.
This why I love Giant Bomb. They don't follow the old, tired standard of forced reviews.
Anyway, great insights in this thread already. Keep it up!
