I mean trust the critics that you can trust, like and relate to. Generally speaking I think Skillup has the best insights amongst major reviewers. For starters… he’s not an activist.

And then people don't want to believe when some say that certain reviewers are bribed by a certain green brand.
Tbf that was expected with all white cast. Need that virtual signalling. I failed to take that in consideration on my prediction even tho I see that coming miles away

I find FightinCowboy’s review to be the best I’ve read/watched so far. I can tell he still enjoys playing games for what they are. No silly social issues, he explains what he didn’t like in the context of the overall game, and focuses on what the game does right.

Kind of like an early/mid-90s EGM review. Also, as a bonus, his voice is very soothing lol

Most reviewers need Fightingcowboy to finish the game himself to complete it themselves.

Activist reviews will be sorta balanced out by fanboy reviews that are undoubtedly coming that will swoon over it. Not as concerning as industrywide fraud critic bullshit where they rush to make a review publication date than even play the game halfway.

What a disgrace

Can people stop with this bullshit? That's a cop out, it's not the reason the game was reviewed poorly by some publications.

I don't know, the Eurogamer review is extremely suspicious.

One of the few gaming channel I follow that is run by a SE/FF fan gave it a 9.3.

88 with 91 reviews.... can go either 87 or 89 yet but pretty sure that is the range unless it start to get either catastrofes reviews or 10s 10s 10s :D

I still can get my 89 prediction 🔥

It's a cop out. Like, there's always some bullshit criticism of PS exclusives, this is just an easy way to make them political. The truth is that they are paid to review these games poorly, and they find a way to somehow make it sound acceptable in some circles.

Taking off points because there are no people of color? It's Days Gone all over again.. just review the game and stop discrediting people's hard work..
Isn't Titans dominant dark skinned? As well as where he's from?
