I’m also saying that most of those downvotes come from the potential you have seen for that game that just wasn’t realized or steered away from, like a different interpretation of Early Access for example.
Or a this game is so good until a certain point and then the endgame grind is just god awful.
sadly with steam we cant have a X/10 review every 10/20/X hours and see how that review changes over time. we only have that one last review. which to me is a missed opportunity, because it woudl also show the journey and when the mood started to change.
because a negative review in the end would still be able to show that some games are actual 8+/10 for the most time and just stumble into a negative review at the very end…
