"When Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds released last year, I powered through it in three days. Literally; I barely slept. It spoke to me on a visceral level, deep in my soul, which is of course why I forgot to publish an actual review.
Well, past Brian, for once present Brian is gonna look after you, you lazy, lazy man."
The Outer Worlds could distinguish itself from other Obsidian IPs by going in the opposite direction as Avowed and the Pillars of Eternity series.

I just can't take reviews like this seriously. Not only is Outer Worlds objectively nowhere near perfect (not that it's bad), but the Switch version in particular is a technical mess which should absolutely bring down its score.
It's fine to like a game being reviewed (really it's a big positive for the personal experience), but this is the difference between playing a game for fun and playing a game in order to form an educated opinion to try to inform others.
is this a joke???
No wonder Nintendo own games get handed down 10/10 like candy by reviewers because even a trash port like this still get 9.5/10 LOL.
Are you high mate?
