In 2017, pretty much none. Just watch some youtubers you like (if any) when they put up a video about the game.

Game journalism was fake news before fake news was "cool"

Metacritic User Reviews- Most games have a hard time barely cracking an 8.

Yup. I haven't read a game "journalist" review in years. I usually just watch gameplay videos on YouTube or Twitch and if the game looks fun to me, I'll buy it.

A small channel called Defunct games.

The guy is really good and no traces of SJWism.

Personally none. Many youtubers are shills, or sell-outs, a company I use to work for up in Washington (a game company) would often pay, or rather 'reward' with 'gifts' for 'positive' reviews or doing stuff. So I know to be very careful of what I read / hear. Honestly the best thing nowadays is to watch the clips from a few different sources and have an idea of your tastes in mind. Seeing the games in motion, and not being anal about spoiling tiny beginning details etc can go a long way. Can't even remember the last time I was disappointed in a game that I watched in action enough.

Worthabuy on youtube. The only guy who tells it like it is.

All I use these days are friends' opinions, aggregate Steam reviews, sometimes Metacritic (it's hard for that many people to be totally wrong, though it does happen), and YouTube. I wouldn't trust Metacritic scores for any game with SJW nonsense in it.

If I have no choice but to go to a gaming site for a review, I go to one of the GG-friendly sites like Techraptor and The Escapist. I usually don't. I ignore all individual reviews from POZ places like IGN and GiantBomb.

Say, didn't Robert "Blob" Chipman use to be a part of The Escapist?

The Gametrailers/Easy Allies are pretty cool.

Their reviews are trash, they never mentioned anything about For Honor's dodgy net code for example and everything gets 4-4.5 so you never actually learn anything from a quick glance.

There must be someone out there with a 10 point scale that actually has 5 as average
