Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Mario and Luigi literally create a thunderstorm to attack enemies. That is awesome!
 
IGN gave this game a 5/10

Apparently the game is too handholdy, the writing is poor, they changed Luigi's controls, one of the worst performing Switch games...

I'm not going to let one negative review ruin my experience. I haven't seen what makes it bad (no spoilers obviously!) and I want to wait until I 100% the game before I give my overall thoughts on it.

Additionally, performance issues usually get patched when the game actually releases, so they will all get ironed out hopefully. I'm still hyped for this, no matter what I hear!
 
It's subjective mate. Critics can give a review different than your own. Silly thing about the internet - when it comes a game they dislike, they'll scream "paid shill" and "woke / they always give positive reviews" when it comes to positive reviews, but when it comes to games they like, suddenly negative reviews are the great evil and dislike their favorite games makes 'em evil. I loved Mario Party Jamboree, but do I have any disdain for the reviews that gave it low scores? No, I move on. Critics don't exist to restate your opinions, and critic opinions differ as much as that of players.

Yeah, plus critics have been wrong before about at least a few things. There are movies that fans loved but the critics bashed every way that they could and some of those have been some of the greatest movies ever to the fans. Reminds me of how Star Wars (in 1977) got bad reviews (or a bad review) from at least one critic before it blew up. The FNAF movie was loved by fans but critics bashed it. What critics say about whether they think something is good or not is not always objective. And then there's been other films and TV shows that critics praised like the last three Star Wars sequel movies in the mid-2010s and 2020s that they said were the best thing ever and the fans were like "Nah, this sucks." 😆
