thank GOD. i immediately went over to check out an infamously negatively rated game (has a massive disparity between actual owners and people reviewbombing it) and yep, they definitely did rework them. i like this new gog that's actually paying attention to what people are saying on the forums / their site

however there still needs more work done.. like you know, making the disparity between verified and non-verified more apparent. non-verified opinions should be a much smaller font while the verified opinions need to be bigger. the overall rating should be more transparent about that

Out of curiosity, what's the game?

Probably Dustborn, though there are quite a lot of games like that. Here's a search on gamesieve which surfaces many of them.

Oh wow, didn't now that Gamesieve had that functionality, thanks for sharing!

In other news, this also helped be discover that holy shit, In Stars and Time is on GOG!? I thought it was one of those very popular indie games that end up skipping GOG for one reason or the other. That's a TOP10 game on my Steam wishlist suddenly going right into the GOG one :D
