You're also missing a big piece... You can't fucking trust the reviews any more. Steam reviews are great, and game reviewers have been trying to insist "no, this trash game is actually great, don't trust your fellow gamers" for years now

At this point, it's blatantly obvious you can pay for good critic reviews, and there's no walking that back... Especially since there's better, more honest, options
