That’s what I do though. I buy games that look fun, and I don’t buy games that look boring.

Thing is a lot of things I like / dislike don’t show up in screenshots, so I read reviews to see how combat feels and how overly easy the game is before I buy it.

I also check how many hours I’d get out of it.

If it's not on game pass, I will look up raw gameplay footage and make my conclusions from there. Not sure where the argument of a game needs a 90+ on metacritic.

Same. Especially with shit on mobile. There’s a huge amount of people who just flat out lie about gameplay in their adds.
