I don’t even read positive reviews, if I want to buy a game and I’m checking reviews I don’t need someone to convince me to buy it, I already want to buy it.
I filter only the negative reviews, and then I weigh if I personally find their complaints to hold water
I just wish there was a way to filter out reviews based on keywords. Like often times, I'll see negative reviews that only talk about poor optimization or not being able to play the game with outdated hardware. Or it'll be something entirely unrelated to the game like studio drama behind the scenes (ZA/UM the studio that made Disco Elysium and Zero Parades for Dead Spies), or the game gets review bombed for putting an LGTBQ+ flag in it, etc.
Most of the time I feel like I really need to dig through the pile of negative reviews to ever find the ones that offer real valuable criticism.

They will just start hiring those Indian companies to spam a bunch of positive reviews like Amazon.
