I read a lot of video game reviews but I've noticed they vary wildly in quality and usefulness. Some focus too much on technical aspects, others on personal feelings, and some just rehash marketing material.

What do you think makes a good video game review? For me, I want to know how the game actually feels to play, not just a list of features. I also appreciate when reviewers are transparent about how much time they spent with the game and what difficulty they played on.

Are there any reviewers or publications you trust for video game reviews consistently? I've found that smaller YouTube channels sometimes give more honest opinions than big publications.

Also, how do you handle conflicting video game reviews? When one outlet gives a game 10/10 and another gives it 6/10, how do you decide which perspective to trust?

I think video game reviews are more important than ever with game prices increasing.
