When deciding to purchase a new game, what factors influence your decision most? (e.g., reviews, recommendations, genre, developer)

When I’m thinking about buying a new game, several factors come into play. First, I look at reviews from both critics and gamers because they give me a good idea of the game’s quality. Recommendations from friends also matter a lot; I trust their opinions. I tend to favor specific genres, like action-adventure or RPGs, and I consider the developer’s track record.
