I'm not implying that one should do extensive research to write a review, but if you make a statement about a game's position in the greater context, you should actually know at least something about that context.
It's not like any of the series I listed are obscure; those were literally the four most famous RPG series before Dungeon Master. In fact, it's the exclusively top-down view RPGs that are kind of obscure and forgotten (Dunjonquest, Phantasie).
