Don't want to be killjoy, but for me all these "funny" reviews seem cringe as mostly they go by one recipe. They are usually so disconnected from the actual game it can be copied under any game. And I have a feeling these people are simply doing just that with hope that under one of them they will be noticed and get attention.
Its simply farce - over the top exaggerated situations. Maybe I'm just desensitized as everyone seems to try this approach, but doesn't seem to entertain me.
I personally like such reviews that truly give impression of the game with healthy does of jokes. IMO its always bad when you go into absolutes. We have many that go completely in the way of comedy without touching on game once and then we have those who think of themselves so professional they write synopsis of everything that they did without any human touch or idea...... so if someone can write a review that actually touches on game + can include some good humor without going over the top for this "deadpool" affect then I enjoy it.

I can't stand reviews like that. Silly clutter. Serves no purpose other than farming points :p
But then again.. I'm a bitter old man.

And you can be as bitter as you want. It's earned as you age and deal more with the world :)
Truth !

I did that thing once. And I get why people do these xD
I mean - write solid review for one hour - get 5 likes xD
Write one sentence got some likes and awards xD
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. If some games have lots of reviews - it will disappear from the view anyway. It boils down to thumbs up/down to make finall rating, and most people don't read reviews anyway.

I usually come to the same conclusion after playing a very popular game. And I have experienced the same thing - when I write an actual review I get maybe 5 likes, but for this one it blew up - https://steamcommunity.com/id/chriskutcher/recommended/292030/
I mean I had finished the game. Everyone already knows of it and there is literally no point in writing a review there. Basically wrote the first thing that came in mind since I wanted to give it recommend rating at least. Feels bad when you actually work for a review and that one gets lost in oblivion :D

That's a proper review though xD also 100% true.

I always check the reviews for information about stability issues, general gameplay loop and feedback from users who contribute with anything remotely relevant. Trailers and hype media is so rampant these days. So yes, at the end of the day, good informative reviews are the cure to this drivel 💯%
If hunting likes is the end result.. get on instagram and oil up your tits. 😁✌

True that. But... also those don't get much attention xD Sometimes I have to dig for quite a long time before I find anything useful at all. Something went wrong. Valve noticed it, but instead of fixing problem they decided to do the opposite.
Now we have additional button - for reviews that were funny.
Also we can give awards for reviews.
Next step... idk. You can attach picture of your oiled up tits? Idk. Valve tries really hard to change steam into some sort for social platform.

If they monetized a function where users could post images, that would become reality real quick. They are already peddling hardcore porn from sales % of publishers, sooo... why not add an optional subscription model for regular users 😑
:... And now, all the thots of the world can link their steam(y) accounts right next to twitch, instagram and onlyfans.

Not bitter and old enough, it seems. ;)
I would complain first about the unattractive wall of text with no structure. It's so unappealing that I felt no motivation to read it.

Sorry to say so and possibly spoil your fun, but I find this kind of reviews to be extremely annoying. Reading reviews I look for in-depth info of the game, not for some cheap jokes.
P.S. Actually, I very much like the way in which your reviews are written ;)

Yeah i feel like this is kinda problem as well when i start getting old, it was blast and fun to see things like this back then but with limited time to play nowadays finding constructive reviews become my main prioritize while finding games to play (Even tho sometimes i also make silly reviews myself whenever i wasn't in the mood or not having decent time to review the game properly, so the least i can do is boosting it with a positive review).
Also they still pretty much exist in "most helpful" section, since as for silly reviews like those often get marked as "funny" by people, tho not always effective unfortunately.

I remember laughed at those reviews while back
The first one is from Fallout New Vegas:
Met a cute girl in the desert. My VATS said i'd had a 0% chance to hit that.
This War of Mine:
It's like The Sims, except your sims are terminally ill, mortally wounded, morbidly depressed, and have to steal food from elderly to survive.
MGS V:
To the Soviet solider blasting "Kids in America" in the middle of Afghanistan with all skills at 'E'. You got yourself a new home at Motherbase.
Rust:
I found an AK-47 before i found food. I felt like a child in Congo.

I don't mind funny reviews as long as there's some effort put into them. I do despise those checkbox copy paste reviews, though. Very, very much. One funny (positive) review I read not long ago was for A Way Out.
Leo's nose is longer than this game.

Actually...
Fares Fares is the brother of the director of A Way Out and the actor who plays Leo Caruso.
He's a Swedish actor. Very known here for great silly comedy movies.
And yes, he sports a pretty impressive sniffer 😊

First time play with my brother:
Bro: "Who choose big nose?(Leo)"
Me: instantly choosing other one
Bro: What? ok :(

I like comedy. But I prefer a review with a bit of comedy than the comedy being the main point of the existence of the review.
