I honestly kind of agree with this. A lot of people see metacritic/opencritic scores and take it at face value. I a lot of people that would just instantly write off a game if it isn’t higher than 80/100.

For sure. You’re better off finding YouTubers in a given space, skim a few videos, and subbing to someone with similar opinions.

Games are like food. Everyone in the world can give a place 10/10 but if they use too much of an ingredient you didn’t like who cares?

Youtubers, nah, they’ve got bills to pay and won’t ever bite the hand that feeds.

Steam reviews are probably the least biased.
