Good
I always struggle with the GOG review system. Actually, Steam is no better. Online storefronts everywhere flatten information, consumers forget and ignore nuanced reviews, everyone is (un)happy. I don't know what 5/5 stars means. You don't know either. I had a good time with Hero's Hour, a HOMM-like turn based strategy RPG with a name that alliterates. If I say it's worth 10$, that's almost a backhanded compliment - ten bucks is nothing. Who worries about spendin gten bucks? What kind of cheap, okayish entertainment can be had for ten bucks? But if I say it's NOT worth ten bucks, if I claim that this product is worth either more, or heaven forbid, less than that perfunctory stack of a thousand pennies, things only get more out of whack. You'd have to really, really hate a 10$ game to give it 4/5 stars, at which point you might as well give it 1/5 stars or risk your review being drowned out by the noise. Which means in practice that everyone who slightly dislikes it gives it 1/5 reviews, because the game commited the capital sin of failing to deliver a perpetual entertainment machine. Conversely, if I give it 5/5 stars that must mean the game is literally flawless, a product so perfect that bards will sing about in the 23rd century and beyond. A 5/5 rating must mean the game cooked breakfast for me, cured my back pains and materialized a blonde double D beautiful Swedish girl as my girlfriend (or an attractive partner of any gender or orientation, as you prefer). I don't know, friend. I liked the game. It has like, units and spells, and you can use them against enemies who also have units and spells. Sometimes there's boats. Hero Hour fulfilled my expectations as a consumer.
