I love that steam reviews can make companies take notice and is harder to shove away compared to other types of reviews with how it's always there on the store page.

Hot take: Alan Wake 2 would have a lot of explaining to do if EPIC had a review system. My disappointment with that game was immeasurable and my weekend was ruined.

Hmm, I haven't played it. I avoid everything epic store stuff (even though I would have gotten it for free, since I'm childhood friends with one of the devs). So I'm curious, what's the problem? I've heard like three people say that it's their game of the year already, so I'm curious what's the issue for you?

I'd love to hear why, personally. Wasn't a huge fan of Alan Wake 1, so the huge outcry for the sequel has been a bit odd for me, and would like to hear the other side of the coin.

It was a heart warming situation when I saw Blizzard's game get mixed reviews. They didn't release games anywhere else until now and getting a reality check was a much needed thing for them.
