Reviews can be incredibly useful for discovering games that you never had your eye on in the first place, that turned out to be true gems. That's how I found out about and subsequently bought Persona 3

 

But isn't that what previews and gameplay videos are for?

 

I don't have time to watch previews and gameplay videos of every single game, so when a game I've never heard of gets a surprisingly good score out of nowhere then I'll start looking through gameplay and reading reviews and giving the game the effort it deserved in the first place, but I just never knew to look for it.

 

Understandable...like I said I know your personal preference..If its something new and you don't know anything out reviews are something you look after.
