So today, Joe is a credible reviewer. But what of tomorrow? Will he piddle all over a fan-favorite? Or confess he's not a fan of some sacred cow and cause such drama as we haven't seen since GameSpot's infamous 9/10 for GTAV? Tune in next time to find out! :P

OK, but seriously, awesome to see Uncharted 4 getting so much praise. And also really happy he came up with this shorter review format. I love his detail-oriented reviews and frank tone and I love that now we get more.

I want to like him more but wow. He has the ability to take a flaw in one game and make it seem like the worst thing in the world. Then overlook the exact same thing in another game!

 

For example, in Quantum Break , he complained about the character being able to climb certain things at one time but not another. I'm sure he totally ignores this in the U4 review. It's like he put a hit on that game when it was really quite well done.

 

Well, I trust Joe's opinion on what he thinks of games to be authentic, but he's not objective. He explicitly says his reviews are based on how he feels playing - an ingredient that bugs him during one title may not bug him in the next, due to the overall product. (And to be fair, he was annoyed with how a variety of abilities you have in QB didn't work in places, not just climbing.)
