Been thinking like this myself recently.

Steam reviews and only possibly, in only very rare cases, although disappointingly-often not - YouTube video reviews, can be a good source.

The idea is… to not to listen to people who don’t play games the way you do.

A friend, potentially a random Steam user, a Reddi- Lemm- ahem, sorry, a… social media user, a… person who has played the fame in question thoroughly and pointed out what they liked - and you know they’re like you, …and they played for the reasons as you; these are the people to listen to. People who play games, like yourself.
Only they can tell you if the game is totally worth your own time!
