Gameplainer Reviews monitors your Steam and Meta Quest reviews continuously, flagging any modifications players make:

  • Recommendation changes - When a Steam review switches from positive to negative (or vice versa)
  • Score adjustments - Meta Quest reviews that move up or down the rating scale
  • Deletions - Steam reviews that get removed, whether by the player or moderators
  • Content updates - When players rewrite or substantially edit their feedback

Every change is timestamped and preserved, giving you a complete history of how sentiment evolves over time.

Filtering for what matters

Raw review data is overwhelming. Gameplainer Reviews' filtering system helps you focus on the reviews that need attention:

Flip Filter - Show only reviews where the recommendation or score changed. This quickly reveals patterns: Did a recent patch cause sentiment shifts? Are players changing their minds after more playtime?

Developer Response Filter - Separate reviews you've already addressed from ones still waiting for a reply. No more accidentally responding twice or overlooking feedback.

Suggested Replies Filter - Gameplainer analyzes review content, sentiment, and player engagement to recommend which reviews would benefit most from a developer response. Not every review needs a reply; this filter shows you the ones that do.

AI-assisted responses

Writing personalized responses to dozens of reviews takes time you don't have. Gameplainer Reviews' AI generator creates contextual replies based on the review content, which you can then adjust:

  • Tone slider - Make responses warmer or more matter-of-fact
  • Voice switch - Choose between personal ("I appreciate your feedback") or company voice ("We appreciate your feedback")
  • Edit and send - Refine the generated response before posting, or use it as a starting point

The AI understands context: it won't suggest a cheerful response to a frustrated player reporting a game-breaking bug.

Why deleted reviews matter

When negative reviews disappear from Steam, it's worth knowing why. Did the player remove it after your patch fixed their issue? Was it flagged as off-topic? Gameplainer Reviews preserves deleted reviews so you can:

  • Track whether fixes are working (players removing complaints)
  • Identify review bombing attempts that get moderated
  • Maintain a complete record of all feedback, even what's no longer public
