In terms of what I expect from a 'review', there is absolutely a difference.

A review given for profit should be held to a particular standard. A 'review' on a personal blog, for the interest of the poster's own friends can say whatever the hell it wants, and there should be no expectation that they'd know which features are or are not available on which settings.

Again: one is played for enjoyment, and shared for the same reason, while the other is played and shared for profit.

To judge people who enjoyed a game and posted a personal review, for their own enjoyment and that of their friends, by the same standards you'd judge someone paid to review games professionally (i.e., expecting them to have played on every difficulty and know the fundamental ins-and-outs of what options are and are not available on which difficulties) is ridiculous.

What I said: (quote) if a friend is posting a game rec/review for their other friends, I'd appreciate knowing parts of their rec may flat out not apply to people not playing on pure story mode

What you somehow read: I judge every casual review exactly the same and with exactly the same standards as I judge all professional reviews

I don't know how we got here, but here we are.

What universe are you living in where unpaid reviews are only ever posted on personal blogs for the enjoyment of someone's friends? What do you think reviews on sites like GoodReads or Amazon are?
