A well-balanced look at what they did right (graphics and acting), and the dumb decisions that got them at this point.

Overall I recommend Skill up, but I would add that anything Destiny (and probably by extension Bungie) related should be taken with a huge grain of salt. He's a huge destiny fan and as such his reviews of Destiny tend to be pretty biased.

Tbf, he does bash them quite harshly and make fun of them a lot.

I think if he had been as harsh with Lightfall as he is with some other games he wouldn't have painted it an overall positive expansion and given it a recommendation.

I can always just skip those bits.

But it is annoying that they will talk Destiny updates for several minutes, but won't mention other games in passing. Like, I don't actually care about competitive Pokemon, but they just removed the Sleep Clause, which is like, the one and only thing people actually know about competitive Pokemon. You'd think they'd at least make a small comment on it, specially with all the attention Palworld got, but nah. For a multiplayer game to get a mention it seems to need to be owned by Blizzard or Epic.

Do they usually comment on fan news? Pokémon Showdown (which just removed Sleep Clause from their formats, and instead banned most of the moves that cause sleep) is a fan site; the official format is VGC which has never had Sleep Clause.
