There is a certain curator that had a pretty good idea: it uses the steam reviews to compile a list of top 250 new-ish games. (Plus some extra logic to help find "hidden gems", as opposed to extremely popular games that everyone talks about.)

https://steamhost.cn/curator/32686107-%D0%85t%D0%B5%D0%B0%D0%BC-250/

The idea is nice, but it seems "developers" can abuse that. Look at some of the most recent games added to that curator:

https://steamhost.cn/app/3067040/Goldy_Pig_Adventure/
https://steamhost.cn/app/3066970/Taxi_Goldmania/

They all look like low-effort, likely asset flips. They all priced at €0.99, they all published on the same date, each publisher/developer only has about 4 or 5 games… I watched one of the trailers (for the last game listed above) and the trailer runs at less than 10fps, and it's a driving game.

Then we look at the reviews, and they are all positive and they all sound similar enough. Possibly some AI-generated script. And what the reviews describe don't even match the trailer (e.g. talking about speed and a lively city on the aforementioned game).

I did not look at all those games, I did not read all the reviews. But these (and many others) just smell like shovelware asset-flip stuff with no real value to the consumer.

And this is yet another reason why Steam should allow us to ignore more than 100 creators.
