Horrible advice. The overwhelming majority of reviews you'll find barely ever say anything negative or critical about games unless the part of the game being criticized is horrible. "Sekiro bestest game ever!" but the stealth is complete dogshit, almost as bad as that Star Wars Outlaws game. "Elden Ring game of the year all years!" Open world is empty and boring. "Baldur's Gate 3 set the standard for games" but don't mention that act 2 is a buggy mess and that act 3 shipped broken; game probably shipped with over 100k bugs including many soft locks. Hell, Pathfinder: WotR reviews barely touched on how bad their HoMM mode was or how shit the writing was. Game literally takes a dumb on the alignment system and gives you 4 alignment choices: good is too stupid to live, Judge Dredd, lolsorandum humour, comically evil "I kill you!" dialogue (not a joke, that's actually a dialogue option to kill multiple NPCs). Even the previous game had RP elements for each alignment. True Neutral characters could make peace between two beastmen tribes early in chapter 1, you could be a LG and save an important NPC by reminding him that his duty is save lives, etc. But reviews and trailers don't tell you this, you have to sift through negative reviews on Steam or on forums to get an idea of the bad parts of a game.
And once again for the challenged: this doesn't apply to egregious examples like last boss of Elden Ring's DLC having frame drops + suffering from being unable to see shit syndrome. Drones will often comment on things like this, but not the deeper problems. 1) they lack ability to either understand and/or vocalize these issues and 2) they fear going against the majority as true normalfags often are. Think of that one JewTuber who said FFXVI sucked, got roasted to infinity for it, and then a year later the same idiots went "oh yeah he's kinda right". Another good example is a screenshot I've seen posted around here about Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, where half the people posting were shitting on 2 for having dumbed down and worse mechanics than 1, while the other half was waifu worshipping.
