What are your go-to sources for game reviews and finding new games? (self.games)

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.

Zero Punctuation for me. He has a similar taste in games to what I like and a so so positive ZP review is usually a solid buy for me.

I guess the name is changing soon to fully ramblematic? There's drama with the owner of the ZP IP right now and the folks who actually own the IP are 100% gonna fuck it up. Creator is starting fresh after a walking from a bad deal is how I understand the situation.

Are you aware that Yahtzee has left The Escapist?

Yes and his new content will be released as fully ramblomatic, realsed under second wind instead of escapist...
