Hogwarts Legacy came out two weeks ago and there still isnt a review for it.

Forza 5 came out two years ago and still no review
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/xboxone/323431-forza-horizon-5/reviews

There are other major games without reviews as well. Do the people that do reviews go to other sites to do it now? Also this wasnt meant to be the theme of this topic but I just realized Hogwarts Legacy doesnt even have a WalkThrough/FAQs yet either. I seen several WalkThroughs on YouTube already.

I guess this probably applies to the FAQs as well. At least on Youtube you get money off the views when you make those gaming reviews/walkthroughs.

I managed to write "rapid fire" reviews for Chorus and Prey 2017 but even that took energy out of my free time to do when I should've done my laundry or some shit. I'd like to write more on games I've actually played tho.

People are busier these days so...

Do you go to other sites to post your reviews? Or you gave up all together. When I made OP I had like a videogamedunkey or other Youtubers in mind. If they post that stuff on GameFaqs you get nothing out of it. You post your reviews or walkthrough on Youtube you get a share of the ad revenue.

Because some user reviews are terribly written and some only exist to troll popular games. There was a review for Horizon Zero Dawn where the user gave it a 1/10 and said that Aloy was too ugly and couldnt pleasure themselves to her.
I mean that's always been the case. Truth be told, that's why I loved reading them back in the day. They were hilarious.

I do it here because of the convenience and my personal nostalgia for the site's original purpose. Don't really care about revenue since I live comfortably and this sort of thing falls under side-hobby-when-bored.
