Game questions usually fall into two kinds. If you are deciding whether to buy a specific released game, r/ShouldIbuythisgame is built for that. If you want ideas that match a style, mechanic or game you loved, r/gamingsuggestions takes descriptive requests. For a game you played years ago but cannot name, use the forgotten-title page.
Where to ask
Best for: Deciding whether a specific, already-released game is worth buying for you.
Why it fits: Its public description: “Have you ever wanted to buy a game on Steam but didn't know if it was good? Have you ever had just enough money for an indie game but didn't know whether it was worth buying?”
