It suggests, when you make a review, to seek support as opposed to leaving negative comments regarding a games playability or stability. However, what if the game genuinely is broken for a lot of people and the developer has blatantly abandoned any attempts to fix it? Couldn't including such negative but otherwise helpful comments actually help people avoid something which is busted?

For example, Lords of the Fallen. Wonderful game. Lacks polish and bug fixes. End result? Lots of crashes for lots of people in many different areas of the game. For me, I got to one particular boss where when I got the last hit on it before it died, the game would crash, every time without fail. Now considering that this sort of issue is so common and even affected other platforms, are we still expected to not mentioning that in reviews and instead seek support?

LoTF is in fact a wonderful game save for these issues but I wouldn't recommend it if there is even half a chance that this repeatable problem could happen to someone else. I can't progress any further in the game because of the issues I face, so I've played maybe half of it and that's it for me. It's not a broken, unfinished game that sits in my library.

It's really fine (what you proposed). Just write whatever you feel, as long as it's about the game itself, and not an off-tangent into something personal, social stuff or politics. GOG isn't going to do anything to your review, as long as it's not the above three I mentioned.

Define "a lot of people." Every PC game ever made has complaints about crashing and whatnot, it's part of the platform. We don't really know how many people are actually having issues, because you'd have to do a research study which no one sane would do.

I fully support people sharing their personal experience, though without context of how well their PC is maintained, whether their specs are above minimum, and how widespread the issue actually is, I'm not sure how useful such a review really is to the general public. I remember when Mass Effect 2 came out there was a big thread on the Bioware forums about the interact key not working and after pages upon pages of posts it ended up all these people were running the game below 10fps (!), which broke the UI. So obviously reviews complaining about that wouldn't be very representative of the actual game.

I'm all for freedom though, so people can post whatever they like and these issues should more be understood by the reader.
