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.

I'm usually putting on indie game reviewers on YouTube while I work for background noise. Have found many amazing games that way. I cannot recommend Retromation, Splattercat, Nilaus, and ImKibitz enough if you are into their game preferences. I also watch Olexa and Real Civil Engineer, but more for the laughs. They have good first looks though. Nilaus and ImKibitz are more automation and city-building games, Retromation and Olexa do a lot of rogue likes, and Splattercat is kinda a catch all.
