Steam Now Asks If You Want To Revise Your Reviews When You're Further Into A Game

It looks like Steam is changing how user reviews work, and is now asking long-term players if their opinions have shifted over time.

It's been a big year for Steam. In the face of increased competition from the Epic Games Store, Steam has started beta testing a visual overhaul for the service, and is looking to improve its curation services by recommending games that customers are less likely to already be familiar with.

Now it seems that Steam is trying to improve user reviews by recommending that players revisit their words once they're deeper into games. Over on Steam's Reddit page, user PunnyCasual has posted a screenshot of a Steam notification they received for Destiny 2. It reads: "You've played an additional 93 hours. Would you like to revise the review?"

This option will potentially encourage users to change reviews that were based on only the game's initial hours, or which were critical of the launch state of a game that has since improved. Steam also recently added the option to filter user reviews by playtime, making easier to see the reactions from players who have spent a lot of time with the game you're looking at.

Hopefully this will lead to an improved slate of user reviews on the service. Right now on Steam, several great horror games are discounted as part of the store's Halloween sale. You can save on the Resident Evil 2 remake, Soma, Alan Wake, and more.

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been...
