Wait for game to be out, wait for your favourite YouTuber to review it. Read Steam reviews that aren’t oneliners or religious rants Just don’t preorder. You know what I told my friends several years ago? “Cyberpunk 2077 is the first game I’m actually considering preordering because it looks so awesome” I didn’t. And I’m glad I didn’t. I still enjoyed the game a lot, just later, after it had been patched to hell and back.
