I would like a way to blacklist all games under X% positive reviews

[Mr Fantastic]

Steam has a gigantic library and it would be great to be able to blacklist any game falling under X% of positive reviews. for example uner 60% positive reviews. Is that possible right now without using SteamDB (3rd party page) and how hard would be to implement something like that?

I feel I spend too much time looking at bad games instead of being able to choose among good stuff, which would likely make me want to purchase a lot more games...

So....you think that because other people dont like a game, that you wont?

First problem is right there.

I have more than a couple games with horrid reviews that I like. Going by the lowest common denominator in the game community is what gave us Sports Game 2019 and Modern Shooter 2019.

Use the filter "User Reviews" here https://imgur.com/a/xAbDNPP that defaults to mostly positive.

I like to play with filters to find out what best suits me, and frankly any games under 60% are total trash, can you name a pair of games under 60% that are actually any good?

That only affects the search, doesn't affect the "similar games" at the bottom of every game page neither the steam home page.

By your 60% metric:

Blue Estate
Lucius

Some of the F1 games are barely at 60%, as another example. None of them are that bad.

Relying on the opinion of the "average gamer" is shooting pretty low.


Ill also throw this link out, since I see it just popped up on the front page. Some else thinks that anything "overwhelmingly positive" games are "garbage".

Life is not long enough to play all the good games, much less the bad ones as well :P

Similar games is not affected by any preference and the main store page can only be tailored and affected so much.

I don't think Steam is interested in allowing us to hide games from the store. Even if we ignore it just gets greyed out.

The thing Steam is selling to devs is exposure to millions of gamers already looking for games. If they allow users to limit that exposure too easily especially based on reviews then devs are going to get upset.

Since Epic got so arrogant with fortnite money they think they're gonna take over and are offering devs things like guaranteed sales numbers with bigger cuts...

If Steam all the sudden says oh yea we're also going to let users hide your games forever based on ratings then devs will have even more reason to go with Epic.

All that said, I would like this feature as well, and it would give devs more incentive to get better ratings, communicate better, etc. however it doesn't look like users matter anymore it's all about the poor devs and their paychecks now...

popularity is in the eye of the beholder, i like certain games others hate and hate games people love, but you can sort of do that if you filter games through popularity, overwhelmingly positive appears first
