    Hear about cool game.
    Put it on your steam wishlist.
    When it goes on sale for 50% off, then you check the recent reviews. If it’s mostly positive still, pick it up.

    That’s my rule for almost every game and it hasn’t failed me yet.

        Sure, but that’s typically during the release window. Once the dust settles, the recent reviews are usually pretty accurate.

        I almost never buy a game within the first 6 months, and typically over a year later, so the bugs are usually squashed or permanent by that time.
