How Steam is Improving Reviews
Want to know more about the new changes happening on Steam? There's good news for anyone trying to navigate through the reviews,
Why Are Reviews Hard to Figure Out?
With all those games available, Steam's become huge. The thing is - there are way too many reviews to sort through. They are not all great - and many reviews can be hard to use to get a feel for the games.
Why Would Valve Change Reviews?
- You know those memes people copy-paste all over Steam user reviews. They just take up space and it makes it harder to know what is good.
- Valve has been listening. There's a whole Steam subreddit full of discussion, too. People really wanted Steam to make these reviews better - that makes this new feature a big deal.
- Valve has even got plans to revamp reviews.
- They want to make it way easier to find the valuable information. Think, “Is it worth buying this?” Or, “Is this hero shooter worth playing? ” This change could really change things for smaller developers and games like Sword of Convallaria - because we don't know how they would get seen otherwise!
Is the "Helpfulness" System a New Steam Feature?
- Yep, Valve tested it, but then they took it down again. But the image was leaked so people know what it is going to be like - Valve improvements!
- Basically, they'll put a new filter for helpfulness system on reviews! They are trying to find all those awesome reviews that give good thorough breakdowns of games - like good things and not so good things about those fantasy tactical role-playing games.
What About Half-Life 3?
People are hoping Valve is going to drop a whole new wave of amazing games. We know they have their team working on Deadlock. They even might drop Half-Life 3 - the big game! But we gotta wait and see about the new features for Steam user reviews. Valve wants to make their store the best!
It sounds like those Valve projects will keep game-lovers super excited, and I think those Steam user reviews might be a really big step in the right direction, because it's so frustrating to see the super helpful stuff just get buried,
