    Imo it’s just that SkillUp is a good reviewer and many others are not.

    When BF2042 was released many big papers said it was super good when it was utter garbage.

    Either go the metacritic way and average things out or stick to a few reviewers you know share your taste.

      I’ve watched a couple of his videos and he’s just my style. A lot of his points are just not important to me and that’s okay. Find a reviewer that matches your profile.

      I think it’s interesting how highly people speak of him but strongly disagree with some of his recommendations in Gaming subreddits. Tho that might be because his reviews to these games are just well written.

        He’s usually on point but I don’t always agree with him personally. Still, it’s easy to decide because he usually makes a point of telling why he likes/dislikes something. People have differing opinions on the same things and that’s okay. Great review, as usual.

        He gives a lot of detail as to why he likes or doesn’t like various things, so you can determine for yourself if they’re important to you or not. SKillUp is my favorite reviewer, and I definitely don’t agree with him on all his takes.
