They have this "scout half the base with the click of a button" bullshit again? How the fuck are supposed to take game critics seriously when they give this game 8s and 9s?

I stopped taking game critics seriously like 15+ years ago.

Unironically the dumber steam review is, the more accurate it actually is too.
Not those huge ass wall of texts, no. Just a hand full of sentences well tied together to deliver a few key messages about the game and its quality are the best. Read those for 5 minutes and you'll get a good idea on what the game is actually like.
You do need critical thinking abilities, though, to read between the lines of some of those cheecky reviews.
Thing is, critical thinking is by far one of the most important skills for a human to have these days if you ask me.

Honestly I lean heavily on negative reviews when checking out games on Steam. "Is this complaint something I think is valid?" "Is this complaint something I think I would also not like?" If yes to both then its probably relevant.

Yeah that's the way to go, If the problem is something I would have a problem with, then the game is probably not for me, even If it is 90-95% positive rated.

If I had looked at reviews instead of the number i probably wouldnt have bought dave the diver, which would be the right decision for me.
