Steam has updated its review system, which has been on the service for 12 years. Now gamers can see the rating based on the language of the review. What reviews about STALKER 2 are written by players from different countries.
«Users’ experiences of the same game in different regions of the world can vary significantly. There are many reasons why this can happen with a particular game: translation issues, cultural differences, poor network connection quality, etc. — until now, the overall rating did not take all of these factors into account,» the announcement of the new feature on Steam says.
The company believes that calculating the score for a separate language will help to better filter the judgments of different user groups and provide more relevant information for players belonging to these groups.
Now, if a game has enough reviews written in a specific language, Steam will calculate a separate rating for that language. Users will see ratings based on the primary language they selected. This means that a game may have a higher rating for one language and a lower rating for another.
Reviews by language will be displayed for projects that have more than 2000 public reviews and at least 200 reviews written in at least one language.
«We intentionally set the minimum threshold to more than 10 reviews, which are required to calculate the overall rating: we want to be confident in the rating given for a specific language before showing it to users,» Steam says.
