When I hear about a new game, I usually read the first sentence or two on Wikipedia. I rule out games described as certain genres or types, like soulslike or online-only multiplayer games. Then, I check reviews on a site like Metacritic. If the critic or user reviews (doesn’t need to be both) are good enough, I add it to a list to play.

I also do this with movies and tv. Obviously, with sequels/series I know a little bit more about the games/movies/shows but I still go in as blind as possible.

    I would never steal stuff… but let’s say I know people who pirate things… I they think it’s different to download a song vs a whole game.

      I don’t consider it stealing. I don’t play it more than an hour or two before I make my decision, then delete it. I consider it a less than legal demo.
