Improve rating system please!

So, i love itchio, i pretty much come here once or twice a day to see the new stuff that appear.

But i usually end up not playing most of the games, just visiting the pages. And started to wonder why is that.

And the answer is pretty clear, at least in my case. There is a lot of good looking games that are pretty bad, after i downloaded a few of them and deleted a few minutes later i started to download fewer and fewer games.


That got my thinking how much i appreciate the rating system in steam. Put the cursor on top of a game. Already have a score. And you can also see the total number of votes, is awesome to see if a game is worth in the community eyes. In steam i usually only see a few pics and the score to see if i want a game.


I (think) that itchio have a scoring system, but is pretty hidden. I would like it to be more easy to cast votes and see the total score of a game. Since itchio is a pretty liberal site, it could have a option for the DEV to turn on/off this system.  Thanks for your time.

All ranking system are in someway going to be broken for some reason. By going with the honor system just leads to people ranking it 100% in other accounts they own. A system voting like Valve gets the same fake reviews and fake 5 star games. Nothing good comes from voting, not even Roman who invented the thing lived the outcome.

Having comments is enough, read through them, spot the fakes from reals and find the games that people do recommend.
