So, slightly different than an anime dating simulator. While Obey Me has a unique look to it and is quite fun to play, the almost-obnoxious characters and it being a direct clone of Diablo makes this one a tough sell, even at the low price.","2025-01-15T12:57:03.496819-05:00",false,{"id":22,"logo":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"tags":41,"bluesky":42,"twitter":43,"youtube":44,"facebook":43,"language":45,"mastodon":16,"muckrack":16,"claimed_at":16,"description":46,"website_url":47,"score_format":48,"average_score":49,"default_timezone":50,"last_review_date":16,"stats_updated_at":51,"headquarters_city":16,"news_editor_email":52,"platforms_covered":16,"claimed_by_user_id":16,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":53,"reviews_editor_email":52,"editor_in_chief_email":52,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcog-connected-logo.png","COGConnected","cogconnected","[  \n  'independent',\n  'online_media'\n  ]","","COGconnected","GameCanadian","en","COGconnected is your source for PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, Nintendo Switch video games with News, Reviews, Videos, Cosplays and Top Lists.","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com","100",77,"UTC","2025-07-04T09:28:49.429906","trevor@cogconnected.com","Canada",{"id":55,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":56,"author":57,"original_score":64,"normalized_score":65,"review_url":66,"review_date":67,"summary":68,"created_at":69,"updated_at":69,"author_id":58,"last_edited_at":69,"original_summary":16,"source_language":16,"is_translated":36,"outlet":70},78333,56,{"id":58,"bio":16,"name":59,"avg_score":60,"outlet_id":16,"created_at":61,"profile_id":16,"updated_at":62,"claim_token":16,"article_count":63,"claimed_by_user_id":16},5577,"Adrian Burrows",63.94904458598726,"2025-02-05T21:53:41.607259-05:00","2026-06-01T05:39:14.262346-04:00",159,"4.0",40,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F29\u002Fobey-me-review\u002F","2020-04-29","There's something about Obey Me that I actually quite like.
