Like 50 % of the (5 star) reviews are from 0 games, 1 review accounts. It's almost like there's a deliberate campaign to buoy this game's review score. And it's not a response to trolls that voted it down either, the game has only a single negative review.
Seems weird.

I don't know, I literally haven't made a review in my life but I was willing to review this one because I absolutely love the there's a game with these ideas. I don't play videogames almost at all, but buying this one and on this platform and throwing a review sounds appealing to me

But yeah, it looks strange

Dev asked people on Twatter to "vote properly". Flag this to GOG.

Here is a list of the 5 star, 0 game "reviewers", as far as I could tell:

Reported them, we will see, what happens. These accounts should get banned and their "reviews" removed.

Bernie Bros: the game.

I gave it 1 star just to balance things out - I object to that sort of twitter-led politicised BS on any platform like this.

Shame as it might be a great game worthy of 5 stars but it's clearly been skewed by all this bollocks by people ranting about politics, which is all, quite clearly and demonstrably, shite.

The one most at fault here is GOG imo, for letting people rate a game they haven't bought. Of course it would someday led to abuse of the rating system.

So, how long till we see a game where you are leading an SS death squad killing civilians? And I say that as nicely as I can.

The publisher (not the dev as VBProject claimed) asking people to give it 5-stars was a response to a bunch of people who haven't played it flooding it with 1-star reviews. GoG seems to be removing most reviews in both camps, so just doing the same thing in reverse again only keeps the b.s. review war going.

Right? Welcome to the inevitable failure of trying to be apolitical everyone.

Trustworthy just like IMDb's 10/10 reviews.

I can't help but notice they changed the language of their tweet from "vote properly" to "help us fight back".

Also, the publishers and their supporters don't understand the different between socialism and a worker cooperative engaging in the very definition of capitalism. This whole thing just reeks of a scam taking advantage of well-intentioned fools.

You can support socialist ideals while engaging in capitalism. They live in a capitalist structure and must engage in it to pay the bills. That's not a scam, that's not hypocrisy, it's survival.

The point is that I've never seen games in which leftists demand independence to create their own, separate state and live according to their own rules. That would be fine. But instead, their games are always about trying to force and subjugate others. It's like religious fundamentalism - you have to convert, otherwise they will throw bricks at you :O
