    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.
