Description
Game reviews and player ratings have an effect on the commercial success of games. They are used extensively by game developers to gauge the success of their titles and by potential buyers to make more informed purchase decisions. However, their potential influ-ence on player experience remains uncertain. We investigated how game reviews and user comments influence players' affective states and experiences during game play. We found that both professional reviews and user comments (especially the negative comments) af-fected experience measured through game ratings, and that this ef-fect was not mediated by changes in players' moods. Our results are important to the game industry because of the meaningful neg-ative effect that user and critic comments can have on individual player experience and the resulting commercial success of a game.
