Show me the most recent review that actually swayed your decision

None ever.
Maybe Godhand.

Ideally the response from everyone would be "none ever", but we know that's not true.

Given that so many people care about Metacritic and GOTYs and the like, there's obviously people who care about the reviews. So let's see them.

Maybe, but I can only speak for myself.
I'm trying my hardest to think of one, and I can't think of any, really. It's very often someone tells me a game is good but I don't think I've ever bought a game because of a review, especially since I barely read them.

I got Aura on Steam and played most of it based on this review. It's a decent lower-budget Myst clone, was not disappointed.

None because I don't read those pieces of shit.

Probably something from egm in the 90s or early 2000s.

Generally none... I don't watch reviews anymore because most "big reviewers" are all fuccboi's with garbo taste. Then lesser guys just review trash that's years old and parrot the big guys.

Honestly., I wish there were more people who talk about the whole experience. If a game starts off amazing and ends with 6 hours of padding I don't want any part of it.

Thanks.

That's about as good of a review as any, so it seems.

Let the record show that based on this thread, nobody on /v/ cares about reviews except for purposes of shitposting.

Good night.
