How do you judge whether to buy a game or not Any Forums? Are there any decent reviewers who aren't shills or just shit in general

i play the game and if i like it i buy it

I ask Any Forums and then do the opposite. Never fails.

I search 'game name [longplay]'
skip through a tiny bit to see the gameplay
will usually know within 5 seconds if it's for me or not. if it passes that, check the Any Forums archive for opinions, read some reviews maybe
then I pirate it, if I like it and want to support the dev or signal that I want more of this made, I'll buy it

I pirate the game and then play it to see if it's worth it, then I proceed to not buy it

i go to the wiki and look for any melanin rich NPCs and playable characters
if there are any i don't buy it
those money grabbers don't always put them up front, they've started dropping them in the middle of the game
but i'm always one step ahead of them

If you find out a game either by
Twitch or a conspicuously detailed OP on Any Forums BEFORE you hear about it anywhere else
Odds are they have 0 faith in the quality of the product and they're paying people to shill it for them.
There has been all of 2 games that have NOT been shit sold this way.

Name them

I do pretty much what said for the most part. I used to watch and read a lot of reviews but not as much honestly.

Undertale and Toejam and Earl Back in The Groove.
Although I'm kind of iffy on Undertale because it's kind of hard to qualify if Everdread being a crossposter between Any Forums and starman.net.
