I was considering making thread about her...
You might know her or recognize for her reviews on many Steam products...
Examples: http://steamcommunity.com/id/yella0109/recommended
Reviews which are basically copy-paste. When I told her that (via comment), she blocked communication.

And right now, I'm downvoting all her reviews, because I'm stupid bastard.
And I saw this: http://steamcommunity.com/id/yella0109/recommended/587590/
Which feels somehow similar to mine review: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Beridok/recommended/587590
And the worst part about that is sometimes people copy her review as their own.

What do you think about her reviews?

For me it's basically bullshit. Let's take closer look on bits from her reviews:

  • it has a good price => never says price, although price of games sometimes changes... so we might not be sure if she actually mean the current price
  • it is a good indie & casual => how being "indie" makes game recommendable?
  • it is a method to banish boredom => games are supposed to be entertaining, so she's recommending game for being... game?
  • the graphics are simple but good => can't we really see graphics on the screenshots?
  • it is addictive => game being addictive is not (always) positive thing
  • it is decent enough for its price => already mentioned pricing above
  • it has trading cards => some people are butthurt about giving <cards> as reason for recommendation
  • it has action => I can't really imagine games without "action", even puzzles do have some action...
  • it is <game genre> => also stupid reason... couldn't at least say "it's good RPG game with elements of combo combat"?

PS: I really am overreactiiiiiiiiiiing.

No GA. You clicked here for nothing.

Edit: Thanks for all comments. I feel much better now, that I let it out loud.

I got so mad, that I clearly didn't write the thread properly making some people misinterpret some sentences.
I am curious how many blacklists I'll get.

Is she good reviewer?

Yes.
No.
I don't care.

Why does it matter so much to you? If you don't like a review, downvote and move on. Don't go around trying to rally people into downvoting other people's stuff just because you don't like her/her reviews - that's a much worse action than posting bad reviews in my opinion.

If those reviews are the worst thing that's happened to you today, you're doing alright.

Oh, hell no! This user will not be called the worst reviewer under my roof! I have a bunch of 1-line reviews, so you better hand that title over to me!

  • What I think about her reviews? I dont care.
  • What I think about Steam reviews? Flawed like most of stuff Valve puts up to help the user what to play and purchase.
  • Is she the worst steam reviewer? Highly doubt it.

I actually really question your motive you make this post also I question my motive to actually answer it

And frankly.... I personally just ignore steam reviews if the game has a demo and if there isnt one.. well check top 2-3 negative reviews and if nothing good appears(as in quality of the review) move to the community hub and hope for the best.

I guess some people just want an achievement on number of reviews posted?
Although I do agree that she is a bad review, I guess we should let her have her fun (at least her reviews are badly rated so nobody would refer to that for useful info)

I'm not sure what the problem is? If you don't like the reviewer, you read another one. That's the beauty of steam reviews, you're not limited to 1 bad reviewer, you're getting a bunch of bad ones to choose from. Also, kinda creepy to fixate so much on someone :p

I occasionally run across somebody who leaves short negative reviews saying something like "gave me a virus" or "destroyed my gpu" or "destroyed my cpu" or "crashed my harddrive". Things like that. It gets your attention and might put me off on buying a game if I'm on the fence, but then if you look at their review history and find out every almost single review they leave is a negative variation of the above. I guess they're famous now.

Judging by the similar 2 hour time for most games and the lack of achievements even on games designed to instantly give out achievements, I don't think she's actually played most of the games she's reviewed - just idles them for cards then writes a review based on other reviews such as the OP's. Perhaps it's just a weird hobby, though she could be intentionally using it as a way of directing traffic to her profile, which in turn promotes her graphic/photography work and the site in her name - awkwardly, this topic is also potentially contributing to that too.

I did notice her low play times for the "first" couple of pages. She probably buys a bunch of bundles to idle the cards from.

Yes, yes! Someone noticed her short timing for most games. I really saw some silly games to be recommended...
I noticed that two devs commented on her review - one positive (they were happy) and one negative, where dev mentioned she doesn't even have achievements :p

Damn. I didn't want to "promote her". I guess my topic is two-sided blade :(

People are required to argue their votes, but not everyone is likely or wants to or care to post pro reviews.

Also, that is a kind of stalking, what if she's reading this forum ?

I agree. They don't have any influence whatsoever if I purchase a game or not. Well, unless they all say a game is broken. :)

I find it funny that some people seem to be upset that you're upset at this person's reviews. Though, I think going through the trouble to down vote all their reviews is a bit much.

Regardless, their reviews aren't that bad. They're not too helpful, and if I ever bothered to read any for games I had a slight interest in I would vote them down for that reason. At the same time, that user chose to make a list of somewhat vague reasons why they were for or against a game, so that's something. For some people, deciding on whether they want a game or not boils down to the very reasons that user listed.

As it stands, their reviews will likely continue to get voted down because they consist of a vague, somewhat opinionated list.

Things like "it is a good indie" is extremely vague.

For being a Steam reviewer I actually think she isn't that bad. The only thing I would comment on is that some of her points seem a bit forced like you kinda say and that she seems to have a quota of points to make which makes her do this. If it's a positive review she only mentions positive points and vice versa for a negative review, so they aren't nuanced at all.

Personally, I like to read the reviews of games, and I especially enjoy the "story time" reviews that go into great dramatic detail and end with a simple conclusion like "10/10, would kill my friend again". Funny reviews are all good in my book, and there is a funny button for a reason.

Bad? Yes.
Worst? Not by a long shot.

We have people who plagiarise reviews, people who only post meme reviews, people who only post "0/10" and "10/10" reviews only, people who post ASCII art as reviews, people who use the same generic review for any game where the developer pays an average of 50 cents or so…

Someone who uses a super simplified template and changes one-two lines here and there based on the game is probably not even cracking the top 1000 in case of worst reviewers. (Heck, I am using a template for my reviews…)
Heck, I might even argue that if she actually polished this format quite some more, it could be actually super helpful for a lot of indie games. There are a few reviewers who use list-based reviews and get straight to the point in few words, but generally try to make it more precise and game-specific.

It seems she idles about 95% of games, including recommended ones.
That's senseless to recommend game, she won't play herself?
Only valid point would be - you don't like genre, etc. but quality of game is so high, it would be shame to downvote.

Yeah, a review without any kind of first hand experience of playing the game is pointless. She's just idling the games (possibly for the card drops), and doesn't have any achievements for them. The template can work as long as its your own opinion about the game, but it seems that she's skimming other reviews and simplifying them into a few words. Not really plagiarizing, but it's clear she hasn't played most (if not all) of the games she's reviewed..

If she doesnt get games for free to review them "professionally" then I dont think we have a problem.
If she thinks shes so good, let her live in her little bubble.

We start to have a problem, when someone starts to do something for money (or in this case - for free games) and they slack off. Copy and write generic ass reviews that dont really mean anything.
Its like those idiot journalists. Writing some generic top 10s just for the sake of writing something. Or copying anything others have written, because they are too unprofessional to write themselfs.

But in this case it`s more or less like twitter. Write whatever the fuck you want - no one really gives a fuck anyway.

Looking at the rest of the thread, it seems she doesn't actually play the games but only idles them for cards and then writes a few lines based on the other reviews to try to get attention for her commercial website.

I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with those reviews. They're short but still show you exactly what they think.

Let's take closer look on bits from her reviews:

Everything you say here is very nitpicky. The same things can be said about basically all decent reviews on Steam...

And right now, I'm downvoting all her reviews

That's just sad...

Believe it or nor, that's exactly the person I immediately thought of when I read the title of this thread. Always annoying to see their bullshit "reviews" all over the place. Wish there was a script to let me auto-downvote all of them, cause there's no way I'm spending the time to do it manually.

Not as bad, but very annoying for me personally is the asshole who puts this on all their reviews:

Oh yeah. I have seen that one recently, too. But only on shitty games.

So generally, copying any information from steam store seems bad... like why saying release date (if it doesn't differ), developer, publisher, genres, if we already see it on Store page, right?
