100% it's not only that. Without url's to compare, nobody can say anything.

Well the issue is not so much whether his site is better than mine, it's what is he is doing so right? Because, probably the vast majority of niche affiliate review type blogs have been totally decimated by the Google updates. I'd like to be able to work out why Google manages to recognize the quality of his site so much, instead of letting it be submerged below all the crappy tube site clones and Social Media posts in the rankings as other quality sites have.

I think the site is great and definitely one of the better VR porn review sites, if not the best. Still, even high quality sites like his haven't been spared by the Google purge.
Obviously, the affiliate cloaking and the nofollow aren't the only factors, although it might have been the tipping point that got my site penalized.
Here's another really good site, in fact, probably the best in its category, that's been around for over a decade and constantly updated with well-written and often very original content, and yet it also has been decimated by Google updates, despite not even having many affiliate links :
