What interests me is what kind of review system people here in the forum who mainly use Apple Reminders have developed. How do you rely on it to not overlook any information and to see everything you need to see? The one reason I love OmniFocus is the review function. I can adjust it for each project as I need to in order to gain peace of mind. I’m still missing a suitable counterpart in Apple Reminders. How do you do it?

I don’t review any reminders in the app as they all centre around daily health activities: taking medication, performing physio exercises, and taking exercise. Some of the medication reminders overlap with the Health app; this is more an insurance to ensure I take the pills than a explicit desire for duplication.
There are some other reminders set for a few days hence but they are also overlap with Calendar entries.
Not a very comlicated “review” process in my case. I simply let the reminders fire and they do the action decribed. Although that said I do pre-empt a couple by performing my first two sets of physio/medical exercises the moment I wake up but I have to skip them for example to attend an early morning dental/medial appointment then the reminder will fire and potential show up on my iPhone and Apple Watch as overdue.
Occasionall, albeit rare, I add a reminder for something that I need to do and rather than make a note it becomes a reminder. Late last week one of our policital party’s canvassing team asked for additional information when we happened upon each other during my daily exercise. Added the reminder and then completed the action when I returned home 30 minutes later. But this sort of thing is a rare occurrence.
I strive to be generally consistent (but far from perfect) with reviews. Unfortunately, Reminders does not have a review feature, a feature I miss from OmniFocus. This means that with Reminders, the process requires one to go through each project to review associated tasks. That is the bad news. The good news is that on the Mac, you can double-click a folder or a list, and it will open in a separate window for a focused review.
Additionally, I have created three work-related project folders: Immediate, Priority, and Work. And, I have Personal as well. The advantage of this approach is that I don’t have to review all projects during each review. I review Immediate and Priority more often than the others.
The bottom line is that you have to go through each project and, unlike OF, you cannot set the frequency of the review.
Don’t let the numbers next to each folder confuse you. They represent the number of tasks, not projects in the folder.

Thank you for the detailed answers! I was afraid that it would come down to a manual process that requires more or less discipline. But that’s how it is, I suppose. The benefits of the Reminders app outweigh this inconvenience for me.

Glad to see Great minds think alike, 
. My Lists are named differently, but the I think the structure arrives at the same review process.
Review in OF is still a manual process, but it is easier because one can set the frequency of reviews by project.
I assume it would be possible to create some kind of review system with smart folders and shortcuts. Like a shortcut that runs every day and checks the notes field for review: xxxx.xx.xx and then sets a tag:review and updates the notes field review date based on a notes field entry: nxtreview: 2w. The smart list filters by tag: review and when you reviewed the task you remove that tag.
I’m not using that approach but it was just an impromptu idea I made up. So please forgive me if it’s BS 
. Neither am I saying it’s easy, failsafe and/or as convenient as OF review functionality:blush:. Just a quick idea that came to mind

Review? What is that?
I wish reminders had that feature. I only have personal tasks and groceries in Reminders, but I have a lot of personal tasks that sit for years with no attention from me.

This is a great idea!
Even though I’m not well-versed in shortcuts, just using Smart Lists makes my efforts a bit easier. I give tasks that belong to projects where I need to stay on the ball the tag “review”. These then end up in a corresponding Smart List. So far I’m managing well with this system. Just the act of distributing tags gives intentionality to the process. I am very grateful, also for this entire forum, in which discussions are held at a very high level, in a very helpful and friendly manner.
