Steam News - Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language - Steam News

The review score for some games is now language-specific

I know I’m late to the party but I just found out and didn’t find a post regarding this

TL;DR: Steam now calculates review scores based on reviews made on your languages only (if enough). This is on by default, but can be reverted to go back to review scores based on all reviews (from people that purchased the game directly on Steam only)

    What it’s doing is sorting reviews by language, under the idea that reviews written in the language you use are probably more relevant to you.

    It already did that, but only when viewing reviews. The update just makes it so that the score ex: “overwhelmingly positive” is now only based on reviews of your language
