  Could be from stuff akin to this. This is the second bombing of Luchang, first was post-launch due to UE5 spec demands

  …were those reviews from some specific languages?

    I believe they often start in english only. This might limit the global impact for non-english speakers

      What if I actually want to see the review bombing and it’s effect before buying the product ?

      Really, the more I think about this change, the less convincing it is. It will hide review bombing of games that might have warn you of something… I think it will just muddy and make the Steam way harder to assess and use.

        Steam already marked review bombing as off-topic before, which don’t factor into the score by default, and you have to specifically select to see them.

        Now you get more options and can even go back to the old system permanently, if you don’t like it.

        I personally like seeing review bombing as well, it was always relevant to me, despite what Steam says
