For info when you progress in the game there is better automation, for instance with devices watering your field automatically everyday. But I agree there are still a lot of manual repetitive actions.

I don’t get that amount of frustration. The zoo game from frontier that I bought years ago still get updated with new free content here and there. Sure there are DLC but you can perfectly play the initial game without any of them, or get them on a sale. Isn’t it ?

DayZ is the game which definitely prevented me to buy any early access game anymore

There is the summary of the review notes and the evolution over time. Then there is the text comments associated to the notes which is sorted by helpfulness. To me this is a good system and by browsing 2-3 pages of reviews I think I get an accurate idea. I think I never got misleaded by a game with overwhelming positive reviews rating. Of course there are still players with 1000 hours in the games giving 0 stars review with comment « this game bad » but there are also plenty of useful reviews.

When I see a game on sales on the Epic store, I first go to the steam reviews before deciding. I don’t think I’m the only one doing that.

These days nothing good comes from gaming platforms that have user reviews.

I disagree, users review on Steam is really helping me before buying a game.
