There's nothing in the definition of review that requires it to be subjective. It's shocking that you didn't even stop to look it up to first figure out if this is accurate.

I did and it does. For example the Merriam-Webster English Dictionary defines review as:

a critical evaluation

Whereas evaluation is defined as:

determination of the value, nature, character, or quality of something or someone

It's subtle, but it's in there. The examples you gave don't fall under this definition, as they don't determine anything, they're just statements of facts. However the statement "this game is shit" is a determination of quality and thus a review. If you just stop for a moment and think about it, you'll realise that it is impossible to determine the quality of a video game in a purely objective way.

you’ll realise that it is impossible to determine the quality of a video game in a purely objective way.

The only subtle thing here is the subtle change in your wording from simple "review" to "determine the quality." I agree with you there, as whether you think something is good or bad is subjective.

But it appears you realize Im right, which is why you're trying to reframe it. Why is it hard for you to admit you were wrong? It's okay, no one is perfect.
