It's not guaranteed you'll like the game just because it's on that list but:
1. it's a good initial filter
2. they have pretty entertaining review videos for most of the board games

By the way, if you're in a reasonably populated area, you can try an in-person board game group on meetup.com (or something similar). I've had good success with that, but I do live in an European capital, so YMMV.
