poopshoot: I checked the profiles for some of the accounts I listed to see if they had a game list. All of the ones I checked were completely private, including no messaging. Even if anyone can, don't message them. There's no point.

Braggadar: Fake people also don't treat others like sh*t either. [...]

Braggadar: Though unlikely to be someone else it's not direct evidence of the devs or production company fixing the reviews.

HunchBluntley: Haven't been 'round the Internet very much? :) There are absolutely bots created solely to insult, harass, troll, etc.

neumi5694: I wonder how these guys made it to GOG in the first place with so many games in development. A small dev with so many games in development ... no one can seriously believe that that's gonna end well. How did they make it past the curators?

Ancient-Red-Dragon: In and of itself it is not; however, it may become evidence against the devs themselves if GOG cross-references the IP addresses used when those reviews were published on GOG, with the IP addresses that the devs used when submitting games to and/or electronically communicating with GOG, and if there is a match between both sets of data.

Although unfortunately I assume GOG would not bother to do that, and even if they did do that, I bet they wouldn't tell the community anything about it. :(

Some of the reviews are modified copies from Steam reviews. These 3 copied original reviews were all posted on the same day. The copied versions were posted on different days, including one just yesterday.

Not a bad game with positive and negative points. Among the pros
1. Stylized game world
2. Dynamic gameplay
3. Various types of weapons

However, unfortunately in this game there is only one game map with different enemies. This is a little sad.

Turned into this:

Not a bad game that will impress you. Hardcore battles with the use of rocket launchers, shotguns, machine guns, flamethrowers await you. There are many different opponents, which in no case should be allowed near you, otherwise you will die. In general, quite a fun game with elements of rigidity.

It turned out to be quite a complex action game. I'm sure that this kind of hardcore will put off some players. I, on the other hand, liked the game, both the graphics and its simplicity. PolyClassic: Wild is a good time-killer, I recommend it to those who like high complexity in games.

Pardinuz: I'm baffled this game made it through curation. Did GOG stop caring or is this blatant corruption?

paladin181: It seems they wanted goodwill for hosting a Ukrainian game dev.

neumi5694: Frogware is ukrainian too and they definitly deserve their place here.

Letting devs like this one on the site only have the result that we question GOG's curation more than usual.

Alexim: It's also extraordinarily annoying that these games are continuously discounted by 80-90% without any break, in fact they keep alternating on the homepage in the "Deal of the Day" section.
