çinliler bayağı güruh halinde saldırıyordu bazı oyunlara, ondan ötürü olabilir.

Bence de review bombing için yapıyorlar. Mesela şu spacemarine 2 de millet %80-90 larda verirken çin olarak %55 e sizi çeken neydi...

Kriterler zaten büyük oyunlara göre, 2K review u olacak minimum, dil ayrımı olması için ise 200 yorum.

Ben beta client kullanıyorum, şöyle görünüyor şimdilik. Bayağı detaylı yani.

The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games

A crowded September for video-game releases illustrates a broader challenge in the market

Hi everyone. Today we’re talking about the video-game industry’s oversupply problem, but first...

This week’s top gaming news:

Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser is stepping down

Sony Group Corp.’s Wolverine game will be out next fall

Microsoft Corp.’s new handheld gaming systems are quite expensive

Too much to play

On Sept. 4, the independent game developer Team Cherry released Hollow Knight: Silksong, the long-anticipated sequel to an indie gem that was seven years in the making. Reviews pegged it as one of the best games of 2025.

On Sept. 25, the independent game developer Supergiant Games released (the full version of) Hades II, the long-anticipated sequel to an indie gem that was five years in the making. Reviews pegged it as one of the best games of 2025.

Today’s titles are also competing not just with the new games released every year but with countless old “service” games designed to keep people playing forever. The three most-played games on Steamare almost always Counter-Strike, Dota 2and PUBG: Battlegrounds, all multiplayer games that have been around for years. Some of the other biggest games in the world, such as League of Legendsand the top titles on Roblox, would be alongside them if they were on Steam.

 

The market for new video games isn’t just oversaturated — it’s nearly impenetrable. Teams of hundreds of people are spending years of their lives developing games that are destined to get lost in the sea of new releases. It’s no longer enough to simply be a good game — more than 120 games released in 2025 have scored higher than an 80 on Metacritic, the review aggregation website. The ones that earn more than a 90 tend to hit, but many of the others have failed to take off.

It’s the main reason that games such as Wildgate and Sunderfolk, both developed by Dreamhaven and released this year to positive receptions, struggled to make a dent. The list goes on and on.

I’m not sure there’s any solution to this problem. Returning to the era of gatekeepers would be a regression, and the increased democratization of game development has led to more creative and interesting products all around. This glut may be intimidating for players, but it also presents them with more choices than ever before, so long as they can ignore the FOMO of not jumping on every new release as soon as it hits.

But for the companies investing hundreds of millions of dollars into games that need to move huge numbers to break even, this is no small challenge. And it’s just getting harder every year.

What to play this weekend

The “1.0” version of Hades II came out this week after a year of Early Access, and I’m looking forward to spending more time with it. Like its predecessor, this is a roguelike action game set in a beautiful depiction of Greek mythology. The game stars the goddess Melinoe on her quest to defeat the lord of time, Chronos, with the assistance of a whole bunch of other gods (Zeus, Demeter, etc.). Each divinity offers a powerful boon that lets you blow up monsters in various, creative ways. I put a lot of hours into the first game, and the sequel appears to be bigger and better.
