It's because sometimes I just want to "rate" the game, not "review" it but steam won't let me. So sometimes I just write "it sucks." or sometimes some random shit. Steam should have a idk 5 star rating system with optional reviews. Makes more sense but shit games will be bought less I bet.

There's this very nice template you can use to quickly make a more detailed review without having to write it all yourself. You can always just google "Steam review template" to find it.

That template is part of the problem

Why do you think so? I feel like they're some of the most useful reviews I come across.

Cherry picking here but what use is this category when it lists the required size right on the store page?

It just makes it impossible to provide any nuance related to the elements of a review. It's not just important to say "audio is very good", but also what makes this audio very good. Everyone has a different idea of what good and bad means, rendering a bunch of biased multiple choice questions mostly useless for readers

I know, but these suck

Just let me rate 1-5 and leave a wall of text if I want to

I find myself reviewing way less now. I'm mostly playing on the Steam Deck. And they want me to type a essay with a controller? Nah.
