Steam Tackles User Reviews With Histograms After 'Firewatch' Backlash: Here's What You Need To Know
When it comes to the media industry, reviews are meant to function as a shorthand, telling you what you need to know just by looking at the numbers. The higher the score, the better the game, movie, or show. For gamers, Steam's user reviews are the popular consensus on whether a game is good or not, and has since become a place for meme like joke reviews (such as the ones below) that absolutely serve no purpose for actual users looking for an accurate assessment of a game.

Review: 'Kholat' — The Dyatlov Pass Incident Reborn
Pros: Extremely immersive art direction that brings players to the real-world Ural mountains Storytelling is directly told through the games willingness to let players adventure on their own Use of sound and the games imagery to tell the story is more powerful than the found diary clippings and narrative musings of Sean Bean

'Yoshi' for the Nintendo Switch: Everything We Know So Far
Mario's world has grown quite a bit since he faced off against Donkey Kong in 1981, especially when it comes to his supporting cast of characters. We've met Mario's brother Luigi (and their evil counterparts Wario and Waluigi), King Bowser and his koopas, Princess Toad and the entire Toad Kingdom, and countless other characters. Yet one of the most beloved characters to ever join Mario on an adventure is the great, green dinosaur Yoshi, who's getting another solo adventure.

Sonic Forces Review
Following the success of Sonic Mania, a game that managed to wring out the last drops of nostalgic milk from the metaphorical udder, Sonic Team attempted to the recreate the lighting in the bottle with their latest gimmick ridden addition to the Sonic canon. It’s made by the same teams that brought us Sonic Colours and Sonic Generations and while I loved these games, I can’t help but notice the lazy stink of mechanical reuse here. See colours had wisp power-ups, little aliens that grant you special abilities and Generations was a nostalgia romp through Sonic’s past. But Sonic Team here has flat-out taken these mechanics and put them in this game, as you have wisp powerups again and most of the levels are mashups of previous games.

Why Watch_Dogs 2 Is The Game You Need This Year!
So I spent the last few days at E3 thanks to the team at Now Loading, and I’ve got to say that as I walked into the convention center I was immediately overwhelmed: I could feel the goosebumps across my arms, it was incredible to simply be surrounded by my people: gamers and developers, journalists and fans. We were all there for one reason – gaming!

Chase: Cold Case Investigations Is A Promising Lead For Hotel Dusk/Last Window Fans
If you like a #game that tells a great story, you may have heard of a neo-noir mystery for the DS called Hotel Dusk: Room 215, published by #Nintendo and designed by a small Japanese studio called CiNG. Or maybe you haven't. The title, and its Europe-localization-only sequel, Last Window: Midnight Promise, never caught on as big as Nintendo's other works - but they honestly deserved to for their stories alone.
