Loved the first one I'm please to see they seem to have landed a proper sequel!

The only review link I trust is

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2442460/Citizen_Sleeper_2_Starward_Vector/

So it’ll be a while before I judge it’s worth.

That's like the one review site I don't trust, because it's steam users. One of the worst parts of human existence, on a level with 4chan in many regards.

It can be good for a "vibe". Like if something is mostly negative, might be worth looking into. But for an actual review? That's just not what it is.

I often sort and read negative reviews, the ones that are well written. Then if it's still interesting i read a couple of positive ones to get a better sense.

Works for me.

Just reading random ones is pretty bad indeed. Gotta be source critical like always.

Steam reviews, in my experience, tend to either heavily factor in (or favour) performance and bugs (or lack thereof) over everything else or be infested with meme reviews.
Backloggd is usually what I default to if I absolutely must read reviews before picking up a game, but there are also some meme reviews, biases, etc. Ultimately, reviews are so subjective that what we read beforehand won't really be useful imo, the only experience and opinion which matters is ours.
