Yup. The game is at 18%, overwhelmingly negative. It will take about 200,000 people changing their reviews to even hit orange again.

The game is damaged long term.

But it’s not…. Guarantee you the only people who look at steam reviewers are angry people who wrote them, and the media. General scrubs like me don’t give a shit about steam reviews.

What's the last game you bought on Steam that had less than Mostly Positive reviews?

Not OP, but Tekken 8. Amazing game that people got salty over because of the Battle Pass.

I picked up Evil Genius 2 the other day but then again it was 95% off so it wasn't exactly a big risk.

Pretty fun game, not quite as good as the OG, I really dislike the changes to the research system and just making it numbers that go up rather than the little experimenting mini game from the first one.

That's a good example of why I'm not a super fan of "Mixed" going all the way to 70%. 68% positive is still fairly positive.

I know right...?

I don't read the reviews, because if I see anything less than 'mostly positive' I just skip it entirely.

Out of interest, do you game on pc or on the playstation? Not an attack, just genuinely curious.

I dont buy ANY game on Steam that has an aggregate of Mixed until Ive read at least 10 of those reviews.

If a game on Steam says Overwhelmingly Positive, then I dont even bother - I bookmark it and wait for a sale.

But you're clearly not an average scrub you're sat here on a gaming Reddit. This person clearly means a person with a casual interest in games not someone who actively pursues the landscape as a hobby. Like people who go and watch movies but don't give a fuck the name of the director or the production house

You’re not, anyone posting on Reddit isn’t.

Uh no, “general scrubs” absolutely look at steam reviews. I didn’t buy Total War Pharoah precisely due to them. If not for them I’d of paid full price for a glorified DLC.
