The people have spoken

A Steam user review for Doom that reads “As an a psychological consultant, here’s my professional opinion: You angry? Play DOOM to let it all out. You depressed? Play DOOM to feel satisfaction. You shy? Play DOOM to gain confidence."

Amusingly, folks tend to ramble at the beginning of their reviews. Heck, I tend to ramble at the beginning of reviews. Steam doesn’t really worry about that when giving you a snippet of a user review in the recommendations page though.

You’ll getgems like"My feelings for this game are kinda complicated. If you want a tl;dr just read the last paragraph. If you want to know my personal thoughts as someone who 100% this game then give the rest of it a read.” Apparently 173 other users found this review of Lobotomy Corporation helpful, though I’d wager that’s not the useful part. The rest of the review is one click away of course, I’m just being a grump.

Oh, here’s one forBattlefield 3thatliterally begins withthe words “Tutorial: Not Review,” but folks have rated it helpful so I suppose that’s a review then.

As for the future of Steam Labs, Valve have more projects in the works. They are continuing work on the News Hub to help you keep track of news and upcoming in-game events. As they previously mentioned, they’re continuing tomake genre tags easierto use as as search tool. Micro trailers to help you get a sense of a game at a glace are being tinkered with too. In the future, they’re planning to add news from Steam Curators you follow to that News Hubalso.

You can read a bit more, including info on the experiments that Valve have shelved this year, intheir news post.
