Consensus... (Gaming)

I suppose you are right and there is no 'good' or 'bad', only 'better than x' or 'worse than y'.

When you back off from "there exists an absolute ranking" to "there exists an ordering", you're making a less strong claim. But that doesn't actually resolve the issue people have with your argument, which is the assumption that there exists an objective ordering/ranking of game quality.

Suppose I say "every quadrilateral is a circle", and people call me out on being "kind of dumb". If I respond by backing off to "every parallelogram is an ellipse", I'm not making as strong a claim, but people aren't going to find the claim any more agreeable.
