Why do we care about review agregates?

If you like it, play it. If you don't, don't.

Your personal opinion is worth as much as one of those reviewers. Don't let them tell you what to think. Find that out yourself.

For almost everyone, a review isn't about "telling you what to think".

It's a tool to help them choose how to spend their hard earn money. Most people don't have an infinite amount of money to spend on that hobby, believe it or not.

 

If it was that easy, everyone would get most every games to see what they're all about... 

 

I've found a good substitute for buying & playing everything to form a buy/pass opinion is gameplay footage on YouTube with commentary, and wonder if that's the case for others. You get a feel for how the game actually plays (not the vertical slices publishers use to advertise), and any wonky controls will probably be expressed by the person commentating.
