Kinda sad because I usually rely on steam reviews to see how bad or good a game is.
i mean with the review in question its a red flag given the playtime is shown.
steam at least give you some tools to consider if a review is legit. one is the users play time (which is public), another is other reviews theyve made. another is if theyve gotten the key for free.
The main problem is that those reviews are still included in the overall review score. I think you can filter out low play time but that's an extra step most won't take (because they shouldn't need to)
People who review games poorly are unlikely to play them for long though. How would you filter them as not to drop most legit negative reviews?
