SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Understanding player feedback on Steam requires manually reading hundreds of reviews and guessing at sentiment trends. This Skill automates fetching review data from the Steam Reviews API and produces structured sentiment breakdowns, trend comparisons, and theme analysis. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sentiment Breakdown: Computes positive/negative ratios, overall score descriptions, and recent versus all-time trends for any Steam game. - Theme and Complaint Analysis: Scans review text for recurring praise and complaints, plus playtime correlation between positive and negative reviewers. - Review Bombing Detection: Flags sudden spikes in negative reviews and compares sentiment before and after updates or patches. - Use Case: A community manager asks whether players are happy with the latest patch. The Skill fetches the last 30 days of reviews, compares the recent positive percentage to the all-time figure, and summarizes recurring mentions of bugs and fixes. ## Quick Start Analyze the recent reviews for Baldur's Gate 3 and tell me whether players are happy with the latest patches.

Frequently Asked Questions about steam-review-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze Steam reviews for a game?▼

Provide the game name or App ID, and the Skill resolves it, fetches reviews from the Steam appreviews endpoint, then produces a sentiment breakdown with positive ratio, common themes, and playtime correlation. You can filter by date range, language, or purchase type.

How to detect review bombing on Steam?▼

Review bombing is detected by flagging periods where daily negative reviews spike five times or more above baseline. Filtering reviews by date range isolates the spike from genuine long-term feedback about game quality.

Can I compare Steam reviews before and after an update?▼

Yes. Fetch recent reviews with the day_range parameter and compare the recent positive percentage against the all-time ratio. Steam's Recent Reviews metric reflects the current state better than All Reviews for evolving games.

Does Steam review analysis work without an API key?▼

Yes. The Steam appreviews endpoint is public and requires no API key. The Skill calls it directly with curl, or uses the Steam MCP server tools like steam_getReviews when the server is configured.

Why do English-only Steam reviews give misleading sentiment?▼

English reviews often represent only 30-40% of total reviews, so conclusions drawn from them alone can be skewed. Fetch with language set to all and group results by language to see the full distribution before judging sentiment.
