    And yet steam users have rated it 84% favorable. Weird how it’s so wildly different than critics and metacritic users (though, to be fair, metacritic gets reviewbombing and all kinds of hate trains choo choo)

      Reviews all seem to say fun game but get on a sale. Wonder if there’d be more success if it launched at a lower price like palworld, since movement looks enjoyable like Sunset Overdrive but I think only die hard fans are willing to pay the $70 price tag.

        Yea, some of them mention “it’s decent if it were 30 $/£/€”.

        Also, on the salt mines Steam forums there’s some mentions of unfavorable reviews being deleted, dunno how much credibility there is for such claims.

        Steam does remove the occasional wave of reviewbombing, but AFAIK only when the reviews focus on some aspect not directly related to the game. Would be weird if they allowed publishers/devs delete reviews.

          It would be very weird for steam to go out of their way to protect suicide squad, but not Starfield. So probably more conspiracy.
