8. Review Riding
This will immediately come across as hypocritical considering that I write reviews for this very site but I never once have preached them as gospel. They are objective observations with my personal opinion spliced in. Just because a game receives 9s and 10s doesnt mean it is unequivocally amazing and vice versa for mediocre and poorly reviewed games. I personally find Skyrim overrated and Duke Nukem Forever not as bad as people say. Sometimes reviews are just straight up misinforming or unbelievable too. Let's be realistic, Call of Duty will get high marks no matter what just because it is Call of Duty. Reviews are not gospel, you should use them to gauge if you will like something by reading the words instead of regurgitating the numbers. Just play what sounds interesting to you, regardless of even what I say.
