You should never be impartial when reviewing a game. It's your job to give your opinion while also being transparent with where that opinion comes from. Reviews are subjective, they can't possibly be objective unless you're like Digital Foundry or something calculating frame rates and resolution and bump mapping pixel shader numbers or whatever. Every review comes from a place of... ...why am I telling you this? You know. You're just also trying to be civil. I respect that. |
Well I really just mean I don't make up my mind about a game because of it's brand, platform or budget until I've played it. I may adjust my expectations accordingly (e.g. graphics for indie vs AAA or Switch vs PS5), but I don't pick up, say, Mario Strikers and say "oh this is going to be a 5.5 because I don't like Nintendo".
Impartiality isn't quite objectivity. But, overall, yeah it's not an exact science lol.
