How to avoid buying the wrong video game — a checklist

Read reviews after launch if the game is new; check recent patches and official forums for bugs on your platform. On PC, compare requirements against your actual hardware, not the optimistic minimum.

Refund policies vary by storefront: keep your receipt and check the time limits before you cross the played-hours threshold.

If you want a conversational second opinion focused on video games, use the AI Assistant and head back to the recommender home to connect with other guides.
