noncompliantgame: YEs game reviews on GOG are, well, problematic. Unfortunately a considerable percentage of people just don't seem to understand the simple concept of reviewing. THey write something that has little to do with the game such as something along the lines of what a great childhood memory the game brings back. And then there's this idea that unless a game is total rubbish it should be given 5 stars. 5 stars should IMO be reserved for the greatest of games, the game changers, as it where. Essentially 5 stars = 100%.
Its not that difficult to write a simple review about various aspects of a game. A brief one or two sentence general description of the game. Some specifics about game-play. Sharing a comment on your opinion of the aesthetic qualities of the graphics may be helpful. And some more specifics on other qualities the game might be endowed with such as immersiveness, mechanics, online community, options, re-playability, user interface, and other features. Finally some closing comments about the game and before you know it you've written a game review that people will actually want to read and may even assist them with deciding on a purchase!
Tarm: It's the media intoxication. There's social media practically even in your shoes so people are drunk on commenting, not necessarily saying something profound it's the commenting in itself that's important and telling the universe stuff that they doesn't even themselves think is important. It's like if I don't shout on social media I don't exist anymore. Its not that difficult to write a simple review about various aspects of a game.
