You lie to yourself and don't mention buying those to others.
I'm really on the fence atm about Psychonauts Rhombus of Ruin (comes out the 22nd) I like puzzle adventure games, love VR, and Tim Schafer has made plenty great stuff yet Double Fine's Broken age wasn't worth my time and funding and I've tried getting into the original Psychonauts 3 times now, it's just not that much fun to play.
I'm not lucky either and just don't know. I have gotten better at predicting what fits my tastes over the years yet still not fool proof. There's always trade ins. I really thought Xenoblade Chronicles X was right up my alley, epic sci-fi RPG. Could not get past the tutorial, too boring, traded it in. So if you even get burned on critically acclaimed games that fit your interests, what chance do I have with those 50-70 scoring games that sometimes turn out great, sometimes awful :/
