However I consider reviews done by reviewers who charge to review a game (which includes most - if not all - video reviewers 🤔) highly biased/ dishonest as they need to continue a business relationship with their “sponsors”.
These “reviews” are pure advertisements and of no value to me as a gamer.

What I mean by the term “monetary payment” is that someone has made a specific payment for a specific review.
I do not consider general Patreon support or a single review copy of a game falls into this category, providing that the reviewer is totally honest and not biased in their review.

If a reviewer does an honest review of a game explaining why they enjoy the experience of playing that game, then that review itself could be considered an “advert” for that game as it may encourage others to seek the game out.
I think honesty goes out the window if any monetary payment was made.

We played the original this week. It was interesting that Google translate failed to translate nearly all of the film titles😆
