I just noticed that when I look at a game which I know nothing about and Steam says “Mostly Positive” I tend to immediately get suspicious

    My internal rating is:

    Overwhelmingly positive: game is actually quite good and also probably, but not always, a niche game.

    Very positive: most people don’t hate it

    Mostly positive: Game has one or two big, specific issues for most people, like a specific performance or gameplay problem, but is otherwise fun.

    Mixed: game either sucks or has had some controversy. Usually games that are good but not worth the money go here.

    Mostly negative: game sucks

    Overwhelmingly negative: exclusively reserved for shovelware and yearly sports games like FIFA and NBA games.
