The trick is to pay attention to reviews and not waste time on the garbage. When a game is 97% recommended out of 150,000+ reviews it might be worth checking out.

Yeah, you can't trust those others because troll reviews will vote up "click the duck".

Steam is way better now at weeding those out of the stats that show on the store page. Vote brigading still happens of course but a couple minutes of skimming top reviews will make that obvious.

You can check negative steam reviews. On games that are hard not to like, the negative reviews are of very low quality or praise the game.

That said, the most interesting games for you specifically won't be overwhelmingly positively rated. But that is hardly a problem if you are content with triple-A.
