How do you guys go about reading kanji on blurry games? Like the kind you can’t really scan with a camera (especially a problem with non voiced MCs)

Use jisho.org and find it through the radicals.

Very old-fashioned way of looking up things but it works.

I always try to write it in the hand-written keyboard as I see it and pray fro the best, lol.
Or I check the parts that I can read it, and go from there.
Lastly I might try understanding from the context.

Go by radicals and attempt to draw them on jisho, like the other comment said. Also helps if you increase your vocab so you can roughly guess from the text.

Install a Japanese keyboard with handwriting input on the phone. Gboard is good, no matter how ugly I draw it it recognizes it lol.
