Fucking finally. I love a funny joke but if you're looking for serious reviews, you currently have to wade through a sea of trolls, jokes and copy-pasted meme reviews in order to figure out if a game is interesting to you.

Community features are cool but if you're the most popular platform of your kind, you're gonna attract a lot of trolls who's content can be really out there. Filters are a good solution to this!

This is what I hope it is. There's way too many joke reviews. I don't want to see review bombs get silenced because they are very informative when I'm not in the know about a particular developer/game's situation. I don't want to buy games that are outraging players. Chances are, I'll be one of the outraged too if I give them my money.
