I think the fault is with people that follow or care about reviews. People should always try the game for themselves based on their own instincts. How ofter you read/watch a movie review before you go to watch it?
Apply the same for games. Go on word of mouth, your own instinct, etc.
The only time I let reviews make me pay attention to something is when it is overly positive from wide spectrum and stays in discussion for some time for a game I wouldn't otherwise even try.
