Maybe someone already said this, but as long as you aren't overpaying, there is almost no risk to buying a game you've never played before (other than a few hours of your time).

Don't like it? Sell it for close to what you paid for it.

(There are some exceptions, like NIB...where you will lose a few hundreds just for opening the box.)
