If it has managed to find a place for itself in recent years, theEpic Games Store still lags behind Steam. Last week, the online store of the creators of Fortnite has nevertheless received an appreciable novelty.
Since its debut in December 2018, the Epic Games Store has managed to attract many users to its virtual shelves. This is notably thanks to the free games offered each week, but also to a certain Fortnite still popular. However, the American firm was not really in a hurry to deploy new features for its store… Here is a fairly promising one.
Give your opinion differently
As we know, players can sometimes hang on to a game for various reasons. This can lead to a review bombing unpleasant for developers. Fortunately, Epic has found the parade with its ranking system. Thus, users are now randomly selected to give a rating (out of 5 stars) to a title they have been able to play recently. This prevents people who don’t know the game in question from giving a rating that doesn’t make sense. The average then appears on the product page.
Finally, surveys that are also random can now question a person after their game session. These questions concern, for example, the content of a title (is it multiplayer or not?) or even its difficulty. Once a large number of responses have been collected, Epic will add tags to the game page to direct a user who would like to buy it. This is very practical!
