Indie dev behind acclaimed dungeon crawler corrects Steam users who think their reviews don't matter: "One review certainly can make a difference"

Cryptmaster.

The indie developer behind an acclaimed dungeon-crawling word game has spoken out against Steam users who leave flippant reviews assuming they won't have an impact on the overall rating.

Paul Hart, one of the creators of Cryptmaster, recently shared a screenshot of a Steam review which was filed by the user as negative despite praising the game. "This game is amazing, but it has a VERY niche target auditory," reads the review. "I put 'not recommend' review mainly so that whiners and haters know what they are getting into. Also, because 1 negative review won't change the ranking of the game."
