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.

Most have already been mentioned. Rock paper shotgun is a good source too, albeit pc gamers only.

Man, they used to be great when Gillen and Smith were still on board.

I assume you know People make Games on Youtube? Smith's in there, and it's pretty dang good journalism.

Very true.
