Yeah, reviews can be really helpful of course.
Just have a friend who tells me the whole time what games are supposed to be bad because of wokness and stuff. He isn’t even interested in them in the first place, so it’s kind of annoying.
So I vented a bit, sorry.
Oh, you’re right about the wokeness thing. I really just look at a review for info about gameplay and plot quality.
It's getting really fucking annoying to look at steam reviews and discussions and running across several "is it woke?" posts.
Often times, it will be "one black NPC in a historically white environment, one female in a combat position, it's been ruined by wokeness."
Or often "two non-essential NPCs are in a gay relationship, stay away" when they could be entirely avoided by accident.
It's disappointing.
