Is it worth buying?
Pick a Steam game. You get a short verdict built from review data, with every signal listed next to it, so you can check the reasoning instead of trusting a score.
The verdict opens on the game's page.
Examples
How the verdict works
- The headline uses Steam's own review thresholds: 80% positive or more reads as recommended, 70–79% as mostly recommended, 40–69% as split, below 40% as not recommended. Under 50 reviews we don't call it.
- For games we track daily (a few thousand of the most-reviewed ones), the last 30 days of new reviews are compared with the all-time score. A swing of 10 points or more, with at least 50 new reviews, changes the headline to “recent reviews are much worse” or “better now than its reputation”.
- Hours come from our sample of Steam reviews: how long people who recommend the game had played when they wrote the review, and the same for critics. Critics with 50+ hours usually complain about the long run; critics with 2 hours usually didn't get past the start.
- “What fans praise” lists themes mined from positive reviews. Themes that got copied onto hundreds of unrelated games are dropped.
- The critical reviews are the most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written, with the hours the author had played.
- Price, discount and Steam Deck status come from the Steam store. If our price snapshot is older than three weeks, we show it as “last checked” and don't claim a sale.
- “Can your PC run it” uses the hardware you saved on this site and the developer's listed requirements. It is only computed in your browser.
What it can't tell you
Whether you will like it. The verdict summarises what other players say; a split score can still be your favourite game. No text on the verdict is written by an AI model: headlines and sentences are fixed templates filled with the numbers shown.
FAQ
Where does the data come from?
Steam's public review counts and daily review histogram, the Steam store (price, Steam Deck status, system requirements) and a sample of public Steam reviews stored by imho.run.
Why doesn't every game have a last-30-days trend?
We collect daily review history only for the most-reviewed games and recent releases. For the rest, the verdict says it's based on the all-time score.
Is this a recommendation to buy?
No. It is a summary of what players say, laid out so you can see each signal. Nobody pays us for a verdict and there are no affiliate links in it.
