When you are trying to decide if you should buy a game, just check to see if Siltherine is listed as a developer. If it is, chances are good that it is a waste of money. How do I know this, been there, done that.

The only Slitherine game I've played is BSG: Deadlock, and that's really good (IMO).

Haven’t really played many slithering games. I simply look at how many “awards” a game gets as this is a good indication in the inverse as to how bad it is. Cyberpunk for instance won quite a few “awards” and was spectacularly bad. It doesn’t help as much with smaller devs though as they are not able to bribe or lie their way through.
Another good indication is the industry “reviews” on things like metacritic for the same reasons.

because taste is definitly not subjective.

How to tell if a game is bad? it has 'sport' or 'sports' someewhere in the name or in the description.

Slitherine couldn't possibly be as bad as Putin, so OP must sit down and shut up.

Play it more than 2 hours. Give the game several chances. If you don´t like it, then refund.

I played their MOM dlc. It didn't blow my mind (ie, having played it, I wouldn't feel like the original game is incomplete without it), but it did instill some newness into a game I love, but have played to death. I wouldn't call it bad.

What is your angle?

Just funning because I'm basically a twelve year old.

If a video games singleplayer story campaign is only two hours long or four hours long and costs $60 dollars (USD) or even $40 dollars (USD).

If a video game is a 100% singleplayer only video game and has microtransactions being sold in it.

As well as many more that I can think of to fill this list up.

To be fair though, speedball 2 chess, Tetris, solitaire, and loads of other games have no campaign as such and have been sold for a lot more than those prices, and are amongst the top games of all time. Doom is another example. Duration of campaign is not a defining factor on its own, nor is price. In fact no one factor on its own really defines a bad game.

Ok video games like Tetris I can play for thousands and thousands of hours, during times when I am bored, because every level, every set in Tetris changes and I focus on each block to change the angle it is in to fit in the empty space.

Doom, the original Doom video game I think I have put well over one thousand hours of play time in it mainly due to it being Open Source and having so many mods for it to download.

Solitaire same thing as Tetris I can keep playing another match after match after match after match for thousands of hours.

Video games like Call of Duty: WWII costing $60 dollars (USD) and having a 6 hour long singleplayer campaign and not being so good and quite short in segments was not a good video game to play.

I can say the same thing for other video games that are two hours long to play their singleplayer campaign stories, etc.

Since "is X bad or good" is largely subjective, it's down to a matter of personal taste. Now true, there are developers who never gave a RetroArch about the quality of their games, and it's quite evident to the sniff test.

Pulling a Milkshake Duck certainly can help sour a game quickly.
