I‘ve been seeing quite a few sponsored video reviews, where the studio making the game is paying for the review. Here’s a few examples (there’s a lot more):
- Dungeons Of Eternity VR - Gauntlet Style Co-Op Greatness!
- Crossfire Sierra Squad Revived my PSVR2
- Propagation Paradise Hotel Review - The Scariest VR Survival Horror of 2023?
What’s everyone’s take on these?
I just kinda see them as ads. Now if theyre semt a free key to play the game and talk about it, ill give that a pass.
But paid to play and talk nice? Ehhhhh maybe if the reviewer is known for being hard on games and doesnt pull any punches but i take all reviews with a large pinch of salt anyways.
