What are your go-to sources for game reviews and finding new games? (lemmy.world)

Any websites you like or Youtube reviewers? I prefer reviewers who also check out obscure games and actually point out flaws.

Console gaming mostly since PC has Steam reviews that help out.

I've always used Metacritic since it aggregates reviews, but it seems to have gotten worse for searching and finding top lists lately. There's gotta be better sources nowadays.

ACG Reviews: https://youtube.com/@ACGreviews
Gameranx (Before you buy series)
Random yt channels specializing in the genre/series while searching for reviews.

ACG is my go to. I don't think he's ever steered me wrong.

Obviously watch some reviews he's done of games you've played to see if your tastes align.

I like ACG because it never feels like he's trying to sell me anything
