Honestly I have NEVER take mainstreamn game revieuwers websites seriously and over time my skeptic opinion of them has proven to be right. Most outlets have no clue wtf they are talking about and the few that do often dont take things like EA into consideration. I trust a select few revieuwers on youtube and the revieuws from friends. Occasionally il revieuw a dozen or so revieuws (both positive and negative on steam) to see what the game is about. But people like IGN or other such websites? They might be mainstream media but to highlight an easy example: people who cant even pass the cuphead tutorial in a normal manner have no place to tell us anything about games.
