To be honest I never minded the pronowns myself, to my mind either is
acceptable.
"I" is from the perspective that it is you the reviewer sharing our
knolidge about the game, where as if you say "you" to the audience you are
talking directly to them, while "we" implies both the listener and the
reviewer playing and participating in the game. All of which are to my mind
quite legitimate ways of speaking, and I've myself used both in reviews
before, indeed sometimes I've alternated in pronown use when it seemed
appropriate, for instance saying "you" when I am recommending a course of
action to the listener, and using "I" when I am playing the game and talking
about what I'm doing myself in the review.
Beware the grue!

They like nothing better than than to leap out on you.
This time we're fine.
There's a border just before you hit a wall.
If you said it in first person it would be,
