I don't put much store in what professional reviewers say anymore. I do read some reviews sometimes though. I never read player reviews on Steam or Metacritic. Metacritic is the worst source of player reviews that I have ever run across. People pass out zeros on games for any reason possible. If Half Life 3 were ever released there would be thousands of people on Metacritic rating it as a 0 just for the hell of it.
Mostly I pay attention to what people that I have come to know over the years in forums like this one have to say about a game in question. That's a big part of the value of being active in a community for me. I get to know the people who have been around a while, play a good bit of games and get a feel for their likes and dislikes and take that into consideration with what they say about a game. I generally watch a few youtube videos to get an idea of gameplay and visuals etc.
I keep a list of games throughout the year that I definitely want and a list of games that I might like to play one day if time permits. At the end of the year I check Metacritic for a list of games released that year to double check if I missed games for my lists and somehow I usually do.
