Usually those reviews go like this:
*”Loved this game from the start i put 200 hours into Early Access and another 1000 after launch but the updates started to shift balance to cater to a different playstyle the dev originally intended or made it more accessible to newcomers or an update changed the EULA without my consent and installed essentially spyware or sold my info or content was removed/censored and i dont like having a product i bought and paid for being cut apart after the sale.”*
And thats why i love Steam, as that review will have like 1500 upvotes and accolades essentially pinning it to the top of the reviews for all to see.

I see a review like this of someone who has 2200 hours on a game and writes a long detailed negative review saying bad things about the game and not recommending it. Then I look at the hours again: 2k when posted the review, posted about two weeks ago.

one “Not Recommended” that’s actually a well-written critique easily offsets a million “Recommended” that are just some stupid ASCII/meme copypasta
Also goes the other way, Steam reviews suck 90% of the time.

Ck3 players when the game is stale after playing for a month straight with no breaks

with over a thousand hours? this person knows the game better than most if not all of the positive feedback for sure
Ingenuine_Effort7567
That’s me with War Thunder: I have 2248 hours as of writing this comment and my review has been negative ever since first big “protest” over the shitty economy in May a few years ago.
Regularly update it to add more negative aspects and give credit where it’s due.
Edit: I should mention I haven’t played in 3 months

I mean sure but on the other hand, sometimes their points can be nitpicky since they’ve already experienced all the game has, and are even very familiar with it while for me the game is still full of content yet to be explored, and additionally I’m not burnt out on the game yet

Someone with so many hours is surely worth to be heard.
If someone will approve that or not, it’s a different story…

The only reviews I ever check in such cases.
Like yeah, I get it, people love it. I get it, that five word meme review was really funny.
Now I want to listen to these fat balding fucks who will always see the shortcomings and won’t proclame every new game that isn’t complete garbage as second coming of Christ.

Last of us Part II for me. Played it and probably will again, but can’t give it a thumbs up

This is me with Devil May Cry 4 and Assassin’s Creed Unity. I enjoy them, but the amount of research required to understand how the half-finished mechanics work is way too much for me to recommend them.

Wow I saw kingdom of heaven for first time last week and just realized this was from that!

Yes, I am much more interested in hearing why a person who has spent so much time on a game may have recently decided to not recommend the game (so many times it’s the developers adding in stupid stuff or blocking access to countries like hell divers) then someone who has played for an hour and just says “it’s good”.

Hell yeah I want to hear the opinion of someone with 1K+ hours. They know what they’re talking about.

There are a lot of cases where a game gets an update(s) that completely changes how good it is. Risk of Rain 2 right after the sots update was awful. Someone with hundreds of hours leaving a negative review to reflect the CURRENT state of a game makes complete sense.

“i did nothing besides eat,sleep and play this game for over a year…now im bored of it. so im gonna give it a bad review.”

I’ve certainly been guilty of this. I think Space Engineers is a good example. I have probably close to 2k hours in it. But I don’t recommended other people play it. The developers have shown to be very sketchy after they dropped another one of their projects (Medieval Engineers) without finishing it because it wasn’t as successful as they thought.
Additionally Space Engineers as a game never really came together. They certainly added good features (planets being one). But it’s not a core game, progression systems, etc they added weren’t interesting at all. Despite trying to solve the resource problems, you still either feel flooded or starved with no in between, and you still need a bit of everything. The economy system they added doesn’t scale to the level players need it to and is still undercooked. Ships are still far too much like tissue paper and despite taking dozens of hours to build can still explode from the slightly impacts. There isn’t a good and immersive way to build premade blueprints (projectors and printers just really don’t work well most of the time). PvE encounters are borderline non-existent and where they do exist it’s mostly a sniper battle as you just try to avoid turrents which instantly shred your tissue paper ships.
In otherwords, the game and company while probably not objectively bad, aren’t very good either. And you really can’t find out the game’s core problems without spending hundreds of hours, because you always feel like you’re the one doing it wrong, and next time it’ll be different. It also didn’t evolve from early access the way I wanted it to and the features just never materialized in a good way.
Truth is, after 2k hours and dozens of restarts, I don’t think I ever actually managed to do anything I wanted to do with the game just failing to hold up to what it shows as it’s potential. If I could go back an just never started playing it, I probably would.
A handful of mods do try to make the game more interesting, and I’ve certainly found communities that like doing stuff, for example creative builders and a very small role play communities. But none of these really depend on the game play elements themselves.
Now the developers have announced space engineers 2 and the cycle feels like it’s going to continue and I don’t see how they really plan on addressing core play-ability problems while only focusing two QoL features (merging of different grid sizes and a better hand building pattern).

My favorite is when there is another 1,000 hours played since that review

My favorite not recommend reviews are the ones that complain about the game being too difficult. They’ve unintentionally left a positive review.

And then you find reviews from people with thousands of hours where their complaints aren’t about anything that’s changed, but they played it religiously and have completely burnt themselves out.
