LOL! In an industry notorious for reviewers not being able to be properly critical of games in fear of blacklists, copies provided to reviewers not including things like microtransactions so they cant critique them so they come as a surprise to buyers as theyre added after reviews are out, reviewers not fully playing games before reviewing them cause they need to push it out at the time of release and they didnt have the time or were too lazy to play it fully and even buying of reviews. Sure.... Youre totally gonna know if a game is good by reviews.
Edit. Oh yeah forgot plagiarising also being rampant and the general incompetence of the reviewers as theyre often not even people who have interest in games, but failed journalism majors. So we get shit like the cuphead review stuck in the tutorial for half an hour or polygons doom 2016 review
