Kinda sick of seeing reviews from people who clearly haven't played the game, e.g. "80€ is god damn too much" (1 star). The review score seems to be dragging from people who are commenting on the price of the game, not the game itself. Fortunately, the list of reviews is (currently) short, so it's easy to see the reason for the unimpressive score, but that won't be the case forever.

Could we please just review games we've played? I don't mind if you've played it here or on some other platform. I don't mind if you've played it a few hours and are leaving some "first impressions". I don't mind if you've played it and decided it simply did not justify its hefty price tag. I just want opinions that give me some additional information to inform my purchase. I can read the price on the store page perfectly well, without having it put in the reviews as well.

Please don't think it's an issue with critical reviews. I also don't want to hear if you think "it looks pretty good", or if you're rating 5 stars because you want more Silent Hill to come to GoG, etc. I want to know about the game, please.

I think I'm going to do some reporting.

I'm all for it. I don't report anyone these days unless they're personally attacking people or inciting violence, but I support your post and agree.

One way to solve that would be to simply remove the reviews from ppl who didnt buy it, i dont know why ppl can even review it it if they dont own it, it shouldnt be an option imo :s
Verified owners only should be the only option. I always filter Others out, and only look at verified myself.
Not sure if non verified count in the rating actually, do they? Or maybe just in the total amount but they dont affect the score?
I dont like seing those type of reviews either, both good and bad, too many ppl dont leave actual useful reviews.
Giving a game 1 star simply b/c its too xpensive, dont belong in a review score imo, instead they should share those thoughts on a forum post perhaps?

I agree its too expensive and I wont get it myself for multiple reasons, but I find this wrong too and not the right approach to reviewing games, good and bad both:s One can say the same about Silksong as example of the good kind, not that the good reviews are wrong at all, I agree its a great game and deserve the praise.
But there was a ton of reviews like minutes after release, well b4 anyone had had a chance to actually play and judge it, and that too is also not the right approach imo but yeah :)
