Well, AAA games spend a lot on marketing. Marketing gets people's attention. 

Most gamers have very VERY little idea about all the games out there (there's like 100+ a year worth looking at, and generally 400-1000 a year release wise if you count "everything"). 

Besides awareness, not everyone has the console/PC to play them.

And then at the end, its time. Not everyone has time to think about trying it.

And then who's doing the research to pick properly? Once you pick the wrong game you're stuck with it beacuse...Money. Not everyone can just buy another game.

Ideally anyone who values their money? Especially if you're on a tight budget. I simply cannot fathom the mindset of "I know I have only a limited budget but I won't wait until people who don't get paid by the publisher have properly reviewed it".

(And it can't just be parents buying whatever their children ask for that drive this entire market)
