Just another video game enjoyer. Currently playing games for fun and writing lengthy reviews because boy I do love talking a whole lot about video games.



Reommended
Played it, really liked it, recommend you to play it as well. Might have a few flaws, but I believe they don't get in the way.

Informational
I don't know if I like it or not as a whole. Or maybe the game is a mixed bag and I like it, but it has some issues that cannot be ignored.

Not Recommended
Did NOT enjoy playing these games. They either were not fun for me or had flaws that directly affected the experience in a negative way.


NO. Steam's review recommendation system keeps things basic to generate rating percentages easier and avoid unnecessary complications. So you only get "Recommended" and "Not Recommended" as the choices, meaning sometimes you really cannot get your point across without making people read the actual text of the reviews; especially with games that are either mediocre or have the good with the bad.
However, in curators we have the leisure of using the "Informational" tag to make people immediately notice the difference and know there's something that prevents the game from getting either of the two common recommendation options.


Full reviews cannot be written unless I have something good to talk about in detail. Not only that, I need to allocate some of my free time to write them. If I feel like I can just summarize my thoughts into a simple paragraph without any need for further clarifications, or I did not find enough noteworthy points in a game to justify spending hours of my time to write about it, I refrain from writing a full review.
In addition, I might play some of the games on a different platform/store. This makes it impossible to write a full review as I do not have own them on Steam and therefore the review functionality will be inaccessible to me.


OF COURSE NOT. Each person has a different experience with a game compared to others. What I liked might be hated by some, and what I did not like might be enjoyable to some. I'm just here to state my own opinion, share my own experiences and give you a brief understanding of what to expect.
If you are using reviews to make up your mind about whether or not to buy a game, put multiple positive and negative reviews together so you can make better judgement. Never rely on one or a few.
