Here's the problem, modern review systems have become some kind of stupid cultural football so I don't know if something is genuinely good or not though the review system.
I was looking at Homeworld 3 but the reviews are overwhelmingly negative, and they all read so wishy washy about it.
generally, on either Steam or Amazon, I find the negative reviews more useful – not for the actual reviews themselves, but the overall tone – if all the negatives are just whiny conservative pearl-clutchers then the game is going to be just fine – if all the negatives are talking about bugs, broken gameplay, unfinished storylines, predatory microtransactions then it’s more EA shovelware
