Yeah! See? This one review out of 10000 said my game is the best! So that means your game sucks.

A trick to reviewing items is that I don’t look at the 5-star or 1-star reviews, as usually that will feed my bias of whether I should be loving or hating the product.

Instead I look at the 3-star reviews, mostly made by people who want to be honest about the product’s flaws. The three star reviews typically people who bought the product and are using it or have used it and simply have some gripes here and there.

They skip all the “OMG I LOVE/HATE THIS PRODUCT IT ROCKS/SUCKS” and mostly go “eh it has these small flaw(s) but still works good” or “it worked and did it’s job till (thing) happened”, which is typically the most important information you will need to know about a product.
