Any websites you like or Youtube reviewers? I prefer reviewers who also check out obscure games and actually point out flaws.

Console gaming mostly since PC has Steam reviews that help out.

I've always used Metacritic since it aggregates reviews, but it seems to have gotten worse for searching and finding top lists lately. There's gotta be better sources nowadays.

    I’ll be honest, I just look at the steam store page for the game. If the initial impression from the images is good, and it’s a genre I want to play right now, I watch one or two of the videos and read a few top reviews. Then I just go for it. I don’t watch streams or anything. I am usually perusing indie games so it’s at most like $20 on the line, not the end of the world if I hate it, or if it needs a few years of patches to feel worth playing.

      Generally not being interested in $60 AAA games makes it so much more fun to peruse new games and experiment.
