Kinda sad because I usually rely on steam reviews to see how bad or good a game is.

If I'm interested in a game, I usually download a repack to try it out and if I like it, I'll buy it.

What if the game is hard to pirate or it has a demo.

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it has a demo like old school days, then I'd try that. If hard to pirate, but it really seems like something I'd enjoy and has mostly favourable reviews then I buy it.
