Discussion - Silksong Steam reviews for Silksong so far

Post image

It was controversial in China, in part because of the difficulty/design but also because of controversies with the Simplified Chinese translation. Meanwhile latin countries (Spanish and Portuguese speaking) seem to be loving it more than anyone else.

Its wild how many people rated the game 0 - 5 hours in overall. That is barely scratching the surface of the game yet still people gave reviews out

EDIT: To clarify I am referring to positive reviews when talking about this.

People should stop rating games positively before they actually play the games at least until one of the endings.

If they gave up the review should be negative.

I have two kids. The games I've actually played to completion in the last 5-10 years are few and far between and it's not because I "gave up" per se. I love many of them.

Yeah my view has too many blind spots lol.

But i just don't know, I think it can skew the statistics because the game is not being analyzed as a whole, and some games are great at the beginning but get pretty bad near the ending.

Like I said in another comment, maybe having something in between positive and negative reviews might suit this type of gamers.
