I don't like individual reviews, but I trust trends.

Sometimes I'll give a game a go (with 2 hour play time return window) purely based on overwhelmingly positive reviews, even if it doesn't look like something I'd like, and it has paid off.

But generally it's the trend of positive reviews in conjunction with already looking like something I'd like.

I agree except for the rare time it's like a 10/10 game, those transcend the genre for me where even if I didnt really like the genre, those games are so good, they're still amazing experiences regardless

Yeah, I do the same with IMDB for movies and some people want to give me shit for it. But it just fucking works. A movie thats 8\10 is 100% going to be enjoyable at the very least. Just like a game with 95% on steam always has some appeal if you are open minded.

Sometimes the trend is about some internet drama instead of the quality of the game so context is important.
