How often do people leave reviews? I rarely see a profile with +100 reviews.
I only leave reviews after 100% completion or a lot of time (hundreds of hours) in case of fighting games where sometimes 100% is ridiculously difficult to attain (oh hi, Plus R)
I think the average time between my picking up a game and leaving a review is like 3~12 months. Definitely even more if I’m not vibing with the game.
Same. I’m often in the process of breaking down why I like/dislike the game, what works about it, and what doesn’t as I’m playing. I can’t give honest feedback with incomplete thoughts.
As I recall, its around 5%-20% of players leave a review, usually closer to 5% unless something about the game makes people want to talk about it, for both good and bad.
Speaking only for myself, I only leave a review if I loved or I hated a game. A “meh” game doesn’t get a review. I’d hazard that many people do something similar.

I’ll click the thumbs up button then get intimidated by the text box that pops up. I’m not mentally prepared to give out a useful review.

I just say “I like it”, it’s not very helpful but at least it counts for the rating

I leave reviews when the game does something exceptional (good or bad). Or sometimes when steam nags me to leave a review.
It’s funny: if you leave a negative review and keep playing it asks you if you want to change your review.

I recall an estimation that about 1/20 players leave a review, but this probably depends a lot on genre and other factors.
