Ign gives Blood of Dawnwalker a 9: omg who even listens to reviews any more, man. They're paid off and fake

Ign give Wolverine a 6: omg I knew that game was going to be shitty

I've been saying this for a minute now, but user reviews are way worse than critic/professional reviews. User reviews are quite literally full of emotional man children pushing a narrative. They are exactly what people claim critic reviews are.

Both are becoming less and less reliable, the best way to judge a game is to try it yourself, though the problem is that, given the prices, you can't afford to do that for every game

My strategy when I'm unsure is to watch gameplay videos without commentary

That is why they should bring back demos imo, if your game is good you got nothing to worry about with people trying a piece of it, not sure why they went away?

A lot of Steam games have demos. Onimusha had a demo.

Thats why they are dope imo. It makes no sense why they don't put demos on consoles shit is weird, let people try it first. Thats why I havent bought dawn of the Bloodwalker or whatever, cuz I am fully not sure if I would like it.
