The site itself is fine, not a fan of it popping a video up into your face but then it's really not a big a deal as it's one click to remove it. It's not a real issue though it's not exactly welcome.

What is an issue, however, is their staff and low standards. I've come across a few reviews over the years on this site and each one was very underwhelming and provided both little -Actual- information, just rambling about one or two specific things/features/sections picked out from the product and passing that off as informative.

All it takes to see this pattern is to look at the 'pros and cons' section then read the review with those in mind, it's literally JUST about those points and nothing else expansive like practically every other review company/individual does without issue, it's like the reviewers used it for 5 minutes, looked at the surface level stuff and said 'yeah that has things' then posted up the review that is akin to a lazy school essay of trying to use as many words about one basic observation as you can to just fill up the page. It's very hard to take seriously.

It also seems like the people reviewing hate their life and everything around them, they very often (almost comedically) take either a neutral thing or a good thing and present it as a negative, like... how out of touch does someone need to be to pull that off lol. I only initially had one example in my head of this but I went back to see if it was a recurring theme before I included this point and yep, turns out I was completely on the mark.

As a final note, they have reviewed an unreleased game that has only ever been given 3 hour demo access to anyone who reviewed it. However TechRadar reviewed it as if it was the finished product (watchdogs legion)
- This is irresponsible and just makes them look really naive and desperate, as I mentioned before: no one else has reviewed this game as they have not had appropriate time to do so, TechRadar is no different. Again, proving they barely touch the product before saying whatever they think will fill the page up and give them traction.
