Reviews are misleading

[SilverJoystix]

I don't know what is happening with Steam these days, but I am really confused on how a game with this many bugs (including black screen issues) comes away with an Overwhelming Positive rating. I submitted a refund request after five minutes. i think the Steam forums are unfortunately used by the gaming public at large which includes people playing games on a variety of different devices (consoles, PC, Steam Deck, etc.) and it ends up skewing the ratings for certain games. I would like a forum (or discussion place) where people who play the game on PC can comment so I know about performance issues on PC prior to purchasing the game. I don't need someone who played the game on PlayStation or Xbox to come in an give me a false impression of the game that doesn't account for any of its issues.

i havent had any issues with the game but i do think the soundtrack is better than the gaming content..

I'm guessing most people played 1 hour and then rated the game positive and forgot about it. It gets very repetitive a short time later, but they won't correct their review.

[Wicked]

I haven't/had no any bugs at all.

[Döktor Jönes]

To hammer it down: The problem was on your end.

The game runs absolutely perfect on my machine. But it's sad to hear that it's causing trouble for some other people. Hope the developers react and deliver fixes as fast as possible. I wish everybody could enjoy this brilliant game, without any hassle.

Reviews on Steam have always been worthless. That said, I've had no crashes or issues playing this on Gamepass so the game seems fine.

[I'm cucked]

Haven't experienced a single bug.

[AJdarkfire]

Not a single bug, crash, hiccup, etc..

I understand some people are using for Gaming hardware diagnosis reports. Some people love it, however not everyone doing it. For my understanding, gamer gaming platform is change-able, & switch-able. I buy extra copy of the same game just for review. Because I have no issue on this game.

Back to your discussion topic. "Reviews are misleading" Really depend on what is the purpose on a person definition on Review means.

For my understanding, there are 8 definition. 80% people will write about their likes & dislikes. 20% people talk about hardware flaw. I'm afraid you need try harder to find those information before you make payment.

I mean I played through the entire thing without any bugs or crashes, so it's not surprising that other people did as well. I'm sorry if you have a bad experience, but it sounds like you got super unlucky and it's then unreasonable for you to complain about other people's reviews specifically when they didn't have the same experience.

I finished this game in 1 sitting (3:20h) and it crashed only 1 time on last phase of last boss. Overall performance was great and i didn't encounter any bugs

So you are wrong about the Steam review system, it is from Steam reviews only. Not an aggregate from all platforms, only PC and only via this storefront.

Steam only allows users to submit a 100% score or a 0%. If enough people think a game is an overall positive but have to round it up then games which are worth a solid 7.5/10 can end up overwhelmingly positive or similar, this might be where you're seeing some discrepancy with games receiving seemingly masterpiece-level scoring.

That said I didn't actually experience any bugs with the game beyond a bit of a performance drop now and then (gamepass)

had 0 bugs in 2 full playthroughs
