Ah, I sure do love never being able to find reliable information on games because honest reviews and helpful content is drowned in a sea of AI low-effort slop that can't even sort videogames into proper categories (no, Overwatch is not an MMORPG) or low-effort undisclosed ads
Ever since CGW stopped publishing, I've just gone back to going by word of mouth. If a real, actual person is telling me in their own words a thing is good or bad, I generally trust them. Especially if they are someone I actually know personally, or at least have shown themselves to have similar tastes to mine.
And obviously if something becomes super popular, I gotta see what the fuss is about if it also seems like something I would like.
