MODERATORS
I've stopped caring about steam reviews completely. Too often I have bought a game that was reviewed as overwhelmingly positive and it turned out to be some boring ass niche game. At least I got them refunded.
Ironically, this is how I feel about Hollow Knight lol
Yep, this is caused because people flood in from their little discord server where everyone has crawled up the dev's ass. Once you learn to recognize this you'll never be able to unsee it.
This makes sense. I never went with the whole discord thing, so I didn't think of that possibility.
I have no idea why one would ever use that platform as a forum of sorts. To me it was always a bloated alternative to ventrilo or TeamSpeak.
For me, it's massive shitpost in reviews which I just want to know if the game is good. The worst thing is their often so unfunny and wish there's a way to filter out those reviews (which is using it loosely)
