What Nintendo game is your go-to for deciding if a reviewer aligns with your tastes?

Please Explain Answers

For me, it's Star Fox Zero. I really love that game and I know that me and a reviewer are going to see eye-to-eye if I go back and see that they gave the game a fair shake. That's not to say I write them off if they are kind of critical, but as long as they give the game a fair chance and see what the game is trying to do with the controls then I generally feel good about them

Another game is The Wonderful 101. If they complain that the controls are needlessly complicated then I know that they're not really great at analyzing action game mechanics or that they didn't play it for very long.

So these are my benchmark games I use to see if my tastes line up with a reviewer's. I think they work great too because they could have gotten any range of review scores, it's not like Breath of the Wild where everyone gave it perfect scores so no one really differentiates themselves.

What games do you or could you see being your benchmarks?
