There really is no 100% way. Just find certain people you trust, I guess. For me, I do like Angry Joe. I don't always agree with him on his reviews or scores, but I trust him to have honest reviews. It's also nice that he has stuck with the older review scale this whole time, where many had an inflated one (where 7 was average) last gen and then are switching back somewhat this gen. As far as clickbait reviews go, unless you see from vids and/or let's plays that the game is a broken mess, and it at least looks competent, don't ever trust 4 or below. I think most games do at least enough to warrant a 5, or average. Sadly, I'm never going to trust another Zelda review from most, if not all, places. Not when it is evident a large chunk of the fanbase will lose their collective shit if the review is less than a 9. |
A large chunk? Who's counting?
