There are moments when I do not wish to continue playing a game but still wish to learn about the game and the things that happened in it so far. Sometimes the story becomes too confusing or I forget that one in-game tip that is needed to beat the game, which is when I am forced to research on that topic else the rest of my gameplay is pretty much ruined.

But then I face the problem of encountering spoilers between my research. Even a small thing as a thumbnail or a video title in Youtube or an article analyzing the ending by exactly stating what the ending was directly in the title would instantly destroy the suspense of the story building inside the game and consequently my interest in that game. I even refuse to look into the comment section of game trailers anymore in fear of some jerk that would literally spell out the fate of the characters in the end without being subtle at all.

Is there any community or website that provides content about various game titles keeping into account people who haven’t finished the game? Perhaps a guide segregated into well defined chapters whose lore context is contained into the chapter itself, or a video series in a similar fashion in form of playlists or timestamp-marked videos or just something that offers a spoiler warning beforehand? Is there someplace I can rely on to get to know more about a game without getting instantly spoiled?

usually i find if you just avoid the ‘plot’ section on wikipedia then you’ll be fine
