Subtitles in video games: yes or no? Do players use them?

Throughout my gaming journey, I've encountered numerous instances where subtitles, an essential feature for understanding game narratives, have been poorly

For instance, Assassin’s Creed Origins had subtitles turned off by default and 60% of players turned them on.

    The only issue is when the subtitles get ahead of the dialogue and you end up with a bit of a spoiler, albeit only by a few seconds.

    This is the only real criticism of subtitles that I’ll agree with, since you’ll sometimes have a joke juimed because you’ll read ahead of the dialog, but I’ll take that any day over missing bits of story or jokes and either repeatedly rolling back to try to hear/understand something (and ruining the experience) or just not enjoying what I’m watching.
