Yeah, that's a huge part of why I don't pre-order games anymore. If I wait a few days, I can get a pretty good feel for if the game is worth my time (relatively bug-free, fun, etc). Best case scenario, I avoid a dud and save myself time and money. Worst case scenario, I play a good game a few days after everyone else.
So, don't pre-order a game until reviews you trust are out. Being a few days late won't wreck your enjoyment of a good game.
The only review you can definitively trust is your own. No commentary playthroughs are abundant on YouTube. If you can’t scan through and find a fun mechanic in the first 20 minutes, the game isn’t worth playing, in my opinion.
