There aren't really any sites I would go to, just follow people on twitch and youtube who aren't super progressive and you'll likely get a good view of the games coming out.
For more obscure Japanese games I used to go to Siliconera but I haven't been going there as much recently so I don't know if it's gotten worse.
I like Nichegamer, and despite the name, they do write news about mainstream titles. I'll always miss Oneangrygamer, but that sounds like something you would dislike if you just want info for games.
I'll echo what everyone else said about finding let's plays. Those will have the most accurate details of what you'd want to look for. Probably someone that isn't focused on editing a lot for entertaining their subs if you want to get info.
Granted, I think that most content creators in this field are leftists, but as long as they don't put their politics in their videos. Then I can live with that compared to most journos.
Gematsu is fairly no-nonsense gaming news with a focus on Japanese games (but it also covers western games too). It doesn't do reviews or opinion pieces or anything like that, just straight news.
Closest it gets to being regressive is some comments (though I've seen pushback on them too) and I think its owner, Sal, made some BLM post on Twitter or something. It didn't infect the sites news articles though - even the one reporting that Sony postponed its PS5 reveal because of BLM didn't take a side and just reported the reason Sony gave - like it has on all the major outlets.
Just wait a day or two after release and type in "Let's play <game name> 10". Preferably on Duck Duck Go or something like it so you get some random guy and not whoever is winning the search engine wars at youtube and is therefore more likely to be manipulated by PR people. Seeing someone playing a game, who has actually played the game for more than a couple hours, and is competent enough at playing games that they put footage of it up for everyone to see, is much, much more reliable than anything a "journalist" is ever going to write. Everything else is pointless- industry news is largely nonsense written by someone with a political axe to grind, pre-release stuff is pointless because the game isn't out yet and their opinions are always based on too little play time and the reviewer is probably an idiot anyway, and what else is there? News about how some game has been delayed or company X has announced something you won't be able to play for months or years?
Let's play videos of games that are out, everything else is pointless or unreliable.

PushSquare is a mainstream site that from what I remember isn't full of SJW shit. I don't know if that's changed in the last few months though.
