Most reviewers specialize in a niche subgenre. Used to be a lot of reviewers who would review anything that came across their desk.
wouldn't someone like Mandalore qualify as that? He reviews a bunch of random genres and others are starting to emulate his style
Sort of, but his reviews are more like entertainment. It's difficult to find actual reviews of smaller indie titles.
e.g.,

One of the top recommendations for me isn't even in English


This is a game on steam with 250 reviews.
I can speak spanish, hahaha she seems to be one of the worst kind of e-girl (implying there is a good kind to begin with).

Although she is lowkey dunking on furries and lgbt people at some point, maybe there is hope.

And if you're actually looking for a good interactive book/gamebook-style game that's well written, I can recommend The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante

Despite not even being that great, this game is a masterpiece compared to what's usually offered in the market.

Ephesians 6:12 KJV. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places

What's the reason video games that focus on melee combat(e.g., Kingdom Come Deliverance) don't use a fighting game style combat system except adapted to sword fighting?

Kingdom Come has a directional combo system. What are you asking for?

kingdumb cum's combat system is smoke and mirrors, it's all based on stats and random die rolls.

Speaking of combat in games, I hate combat that focuses entirely on waiting for the enemy to attack then parrying/dodging so you can attack. It's about 90% of real-time combat now.

YES. And segments where an enemy turns invulnerable while he sprays bullets or something at you.

I haven't played since it came out can you still completely break the combat by just not locking on to enemies and making them totally unable to counter you effectively?
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

When the game launched you could beat anyone just by backpedaling with the bow because they'd run forward, stop, then attack.

ironically the KCD combat system plays best on a controller do the physicality of the analog stick meeting resistance and eventually hitting the outer ring wall, so it feels much more satisfying to do directional "flicks".

EDIT: and because the stick re-centers itself automatically. it seems ALMOST as if they made the combat system specifically for it, even though we know that's not the case.
