Fake Reviews

Deep Rock Galactic (jackal)

I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single farther to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game for Christmas from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just, watching YouTube. So i decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. loaded into the game, made my character and world and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. loved it as it was the best time had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.

I am a 58 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game for Christmas in 2021 from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 40 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching Ukrainian men French kissing canines on YouTube. So i decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game, picked my character and world and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well.

yeah, you'll see this all across steam.

dunno if it's a "hilarious" copy paste or spam etc.

rule of thumb is never trust anything an unverified source writes on the interweb.

verified sources need a damn good check.

Both stories brought a tear to my eye :)...

It's nice that those two fathers were able to reconnect with their sons, after such tragedy had almost separated them for good.

It's a violin tune to hook up dad's, no kid would find this interesting nor ask their dad to get the game so he can play with.
Probably something thought up by some advertising Co.

Both games are good co op games so noting wrong with that.

my best fav co op games are

Deep Rock Galactic
Strange Brigade
No man sky
Grim dawn
Sniper elite 4

I got say Co op games are some most fun games out there you can play. No man sky defiantly is a good open world Co op game and there is nothing more fun then Co op games for me.

but its summer so more time outside then gaming now dads.

Marketing is EVIL!

If it were real they guy would have been on the forums asking why he and his son have connection issues... just sayin.

[Daedrius]

I think the "made my character" and "picked my character" part alone gives away the fact its fake. Makes it obvious they've never played so, why do this? Is writing reviews a steam level requirement?

Interesting “reviews” at the top of this thread. I’m older than the purported age of either of fathers in those reviews but have no way to verify any claims regarding the oldest people playing this game. My adult son did get me NMS as a gift last year, but not at Christmas. I enjoy playing NMS – sometimes we play together and sometimes separately (we’re in different time zones). It’s a great game.

Just copy/paste, spam/trolling, steam points farming etc. I guess some people actually find it funny, they would probably say only ironically... *yawn*... these are all over Steam.

On the other hand, maybe there's a hint of 'we can't just give a + rating without saying a few words so here's some verbal diarrhoea to tick a box.' Kind of a valid point if that's the case, but not an effective way to make it. The 'reviews' are fake but the ratings aren't necessarily in all cases.

Oh no! Your steam client created a collision between our world and a mirror universe!
Which review belongs where now? And what happend if the two fathers found themselves in the same coop-game? *shudder*

It would be fun to know who's the elder of NMS
