Word of mouth helps yeah, but only if you do share a common liking of the genre.
Well, when I say word of mouth, I mean identifying individuals, whether they be friends or online reviewers, that share your tastes and/or have a common liking for games you find entertaining and enjoyable, and then keeping an ear turned to those sources.
"I give Game Y an 8.8" doesn't tell me as much as "I like Game Y because I'm a fan of Mario Kart and Game Y is a kart racer in a similar vein except with hoverboats and planes and cute animal characters."
I love you, Wacky Wheels and Diddy Kong Racing. ; ;
