There are games I know I'm buying no matter what, I never even look at their reviews and metascore (ex. The Evil Within, Far Cry 4, new FIFA, Tomb Raider...)

If it's the game I'm doubtful about, I check the scores. If the score is above 80, I know it's a good game, and will get it (ex. Shadows of Mordor)
If it's between 70-80, I read a few good and a few bad reviews to see what the deal is. If I'm satisfied, I wait for the price drop and buy it. If not, I remove it from my list.
If it's below 70, I forget about the game and never think of it again. There are many more games than I have time for, I don't need to waste it on those games.

That's my method, and so far I'm very satisfied with the results.
