Why does the gaming community trash on these games?

Edit: I didn't post this for clout or to start drama. I guess I'm in the extreme minority on seeing this hate. Best guess is that the content algorithms that many of my various social medias use have decided I'm not allowed to enjoy things. Cause I get these hate articles on pretty much any game, movie, and show I get into within days of starting them. But it has been particularly hard on this game series which is why I decided to ask. To be clear, I LOVE the Horizon games

Original Post: I'm pretty new to the Horizon games. My wife has been trying to get me to play for years, but I finally got started after buying the HZD remaster.

I'm hooked now.

I beat HZDin 5 days and am now on HFW. The graphics are gorgeous. The story is so deep with so many great characters. And the game mechanics are amazing.

Now I really don't get why the gaming community at large seems to trash on these games so much. That was one of the things that kept me from playing for so long was the negative reception it had from so many gaming communities and media outlets. And people seem especially mad at the HZD remaster. My wife has been playing since 2017 and she thought theHZD remaster was amazing and really helped bridge the gap in graphics and mechanics of the two games.

I just don't get the hate toward these games. Do people just not like good storytelling anymore? Do people not like that the main character is a realistic looking woman and not some uwu anime chick with balloons or traffic cones for boobs?

What are your thoughts?
