While I'm not sure I see as much games being review bombed for political reasons in my sources for video game reviews, I strongly agree with you that it's really hard nowadays to find high quality reviews. It's always been bad in mainstream video games medias though, but underdogs that are more open to criticise game tend to not last very long.

The best approach I've found is to become aware of who are writing the reviews I perceive as high quality and simply follow them when they change medias and pay attention to what they communicate about their current position.

Ultimately, the best reviews are almost always coming from sources that have a business model that doesn't rely on ads.
