General Are Game Reviews Still Worth Reading?

[Al]

Where do you get your reviews from these days and are they any good? I saw a review recently that said that Assassins Creed: Shadows has 'some problems' and then the reviewer awarded it a perfect score. What's going on with that? How can something which has problems be perfect? That just doesn't make sense.

It seems like all of the major publications are just advertisements these days. it's like that daren't piss off publishers by being honest. You know, that thing you expect from game journalists. Honesty. Integrity. Do these qualities exist any more?

And Steam reviews are just silly.

Where do you get your reviews from?

These reviews are not to be trusted again. The game would crash, you will encounter bugs everywhere, they will still write that it's a masterpiece. Now, I watch gameplay clips and check small creators' opinions. At least those ones are still trustworthy.

Reviews has turned into a business now, no honesty again. They don't want to offend the publishers. I remember buying one hyped game last year, I regretted it. Since then, I have only followed the community opinions.
