Reviewing a video game is a sacred act that previously only a select few individuals were called to, but it seems like all of that could be about to change. Reports of civilian PlayStation users being sent an email link to pen a review of a game purchased digitally have begun to trickle in. This could mean a bold future in which the unfortunately authoritarian PS Store looks more like Valve's egalitarian Steam, with reviews written for all the world to see.
On Reddit, user cusman78 detailed the occurrence in a thread in which they described being sent an email link to "write a review" on Playstation.com, specifically for Helldivers 2. For now, it only appears to work directly from the link, on the website, and for games owned digitally, in some kind of limited test. Last year, a five-star rating system was rolled out, perhaps a tentative first step.
