People just put up unhelpful dumb reviews with no verification of if they played either game and then it just gets to affect the score.
Steam definitely has its share of "anti-woke" rants and culture war nonsense, but at least there's some kind of bar to clear. If someone’s dropping a review after 7+ hours, even if it's unhinged, you can at least say they engaged with the game beyond the title screen or Character Creation
Plus, Steam shows:
Hours played (which helps you separate kneejerk takes from people who gave the game a shot)
Whether the review is marked helpful by others,
Whether the game was purchased or received for free,
It’s a way more transparent system than Metacritic’s “0/10 because woke” with no explanation and no way to know if the person even launched the game.
hell, almost all of BioWare's games on Steam are "Mostly positive" except for Dragon Age 2 and Veilguard which are both "Mixed"
They made a whole theme of 2 and a half game and their associated dlc thar you cannot ever under any circumstances negotiate with, mislead, misdirect, cheat or circumvent the reapers, and your attempt to do so is what they're counting on, as they will subvert such attempts, drive you insane and make you work for them. Then they present you with a magic mcguffin out of nowhere that tells you it's a secret tool to control tbe reapers through space magic, a fact it conveys to you through hallucinations.
And then you get to choose one of 3 colors of explosion. If you picked the control (Or synthesis really) option you should just get a "Game over you fucking dumbass" screen, like sleeping with the alien succubus. But instead they rewrite the entire universe.
