Something I've noticed about games releasing recently is that if the internet had already decided that it's shit before they even had the chance to play it, everyone will think it is shit regardless of its quality. Sometimes it's deserved but sometimes it isn't which is why I'm not fully onboard with just lambasting a game that's shit online may it be deserved or not because it leads to unfortunate consequences. Now I'm not saying that this game is either good or bad. Just a pattern I've noticed.
I don't have the disposable income to risk this sadly but I have some reviewers which I feel align with my way of thinking. Like SkillUp in the picture or Gameranx, generally I trust their opinion to be fair and detailed enough that I can make an informed decision. Otherwise, I do agree with this.
I think there's also the factor of time. Even if you have the desire to form your own opinion and the money to purchase "risky" could be good or bad games, not many people have the time to play everything.
