I’m looking for sites not owned by Fandom, Ziff Davis, Tencent, etc., who still cover news and reviews.

I stuck with Giantbomb for years, even after Red Ventures acquired it, but, like others, drifted away from the site when its core members left/got fired.

I followed Easy Allies for awhile, but after Bowman moved on, it wasn’t the same.

Anyone have any recommendations?

    Simply watch no-voiceover playthroughs on youtube to see how a game is actually like. Don’t watch the whole video if you don’t want spoilers. Goes without saying this is only possible after the game release. Wait at least 3-6 months after release before buying any game. Or pirate it.

      Since no one writes quality articles anymore, this seems to be the only way to actually get a good view of the game.

      I don’t want to watch and listen to some dude rant about a game. I want to read about it. Barring that, pure gameplay is the best.
