Has to be Bot reviews

[Commissar Tordez]

This must be the first game on steam that is flooded with fake positive reviews. aint no way theres a 2 minute cutscene talking about pronouns and its mostly positive. either fake reviews, or wokies bought it specifically to make sure it didnt get the concord treatment. RIP bioware. you were an awesome company once, now a shambling corpse.

There's definitely lots of bots in the reviews. There's lots of accounts positively reviewing with 1 product in their account.

Well some accounts were posting with less than an hour playtime. Impossible to make an honest review without actually playing the game.

Or people who would leave negative reviews are spending money elsewhere

What if.. no one cared about that and just wanted to have fun with the game? And did?

No one is stopping you, you know?

That is not enough for me to leave a bad review even though it may be annoying. the rest of the game looks pretty solid. dont get so sheeped into these narratives.

The first game with a flood of fake positive reviews? Are you new to Steam? There are always bums on bad games choosing the positive review option with no playtime or after they just got done saying it sucked.

I thought Twitter had some of the dumbest gamers on the planet but it seems like most of them were all on the Steam forums. Not everything is a conspiracy or being manipulated just because it goes against your personal opinion lol.

Have you ever once stopped and considered that your savagely-enforced echo chamber of "anti-wokeness" is not actually a majority of people who buy and play games, and that all the mantras about being "true gamers" is just a shibboleth to obscure that fact?

Most people do not give a ♥♥♥♥ about if a game is "woke" or not. They care if the game is fun for them. What you are seeing is not "bot reviews", you're seeing people see a game that they think they'll enjoy, buying that game, playing that game, enjoying that game, and leaving a positive review about it, just like literally every other game on Steam.

Hinging this much of your well-being on believing every other person on earth except for your designated political enemies agreeing with all your opinions on computer games isn't healthy.

This is the answer. It will have decent reviews because most gamers aren't playing it. The gaming community has been able to resist to "buy and try" games. This game has a lot of deserved negative coverage so many people are giving it a hard pass.

Im having a blast, 4h played so far (writing while compiling shaders) and I havent even written the much deserved positive review

Must be way Wukong did so "well" China has been known to manipulate and falsify numbers to make themselves sound better.

Wukong did so well because it was a project funded by the Chinese government and there was a MASSIVE advertising campaign for the game in China from what I understand. It was also one of the very first games from China that was allowed to be a part of the larger Steam platform and as a result contribute to the wider analytics.

There's many games that are China exclusive that have similar numbers. It's actually insane.

A lot of negative reviews have been deleted is why.

It's a solid game, oldschool action adventure game with some light rpg elements. It runs great and the combat do evolve so it's fun, the writing is poor at times and they have pushed in subjects thats a bit out of place for me but you can skip them or explore them whatever you want :)

Only thing that feels weird is that Skill Up didn't like this but enjoyed Outlaws :O blows my mind.

Wow ... you haters really have to cope hard, that this game is more successful than you hoped for *ROFL*, you should fix your tinfoil hat tighter!

If that is true that means they did the boting in house... I wonder if Valve has rules against that?
