Implement separate review pages for DLCs
Currently, when a user clicks to see reviews for any given Downloadable Content (DLC), they are redirected to the main game's review page. This makes it impossible to read opinions and ratings that are specific to the DLC itself. As Steam Support confirmed, "DLCs doesn't have a review page. By default, you will be directed to the base game's review page."

I believe it would be immensely beneficial for users to have dedicated review pages for each DLC. This would allow potential buyers to make more informed decisions based on feedback about the add-on content specifically, rather than the core game which they may already own and have an opinion on.

To give a concrete example, I was trying to read reviews for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone" DLC. Clicking on the reviews link on its store page https://steamhost.cn/app/378649/The_Witcher_3_Wild_Hunt__Hearts_of_Stone/ incorrectly sends me to the review page for the base game https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/292030/reviews/. Ideally, it should lead to a dedicated review page for the DLC, which would logically be at a URL like https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/378649/reviews/. This issue is not unique to this one DLC but is a platform-wide behavior.

The current system, where DLC reviews are mixed with base game reviews, makes it difficult to gauge the quality and value of the additional content. A user interested in a DLC shouldn't have to sift through potentially thousands of base game reviews to find relevant information.

I ask the Valve development team to please consider implementing this feature. It would significantly improve the user experience and empower customers to make better-informed purchasing decisions.

I'm confused. Steam already has separated reviews for DLCs. I just specifically reviewed a DLC for a game and I can clearly see my separate reviews for the main game and the DLC on separate pages.

Also, if I go to the DLC for the Witcher, I can see the reviews specifically for it. Unless this is some sort of browser only problem, (because im looking through the app right now) it works exactly as your idea already

DLCs have their own reviews.

You most be a troll, cause all you would have to do is scroll down on the that page, and you would be seeing a section called Customer reviews for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone

He means the community hub reviews page.

The page that has 10% of the functionality of the store pages's review sorting system and honestly barely has a reason to exist.
