I just want to second this. Sometimes words can both be used Subjectively and Objectively. Unplayable is one of those in my eyes. For example any game that is too intensive click wise(some browser based games for example) can very quickly become unplayable for me due to the fact that I suffer from RSI in my wrists(or so I have been told, and I know that regardless of what it is that it hurts like hell to play such click intensive games). Etc. . .

Of course in the case of professional reviews use of the term should be rare in my opinion. Since professional reviews tend to be expected to be a bit more pro-like/objective than say a forum post or the ilk.
