Haha 80% is not feasible, but anyone that hasn’t yet could drop a review.

Not with that attitude!
If we put our minds to it we can accomplish anything. Might change my review to be more positive.
That was quicker than I expected, but it appears there were a handful of negative reviews that switched to positive which makes a bigger difference than a new positive review. Well done all!
I thought the aim was to get to 70, change from mixed to positive, attract new players, then allow the new players to hopefully increase it further assuming they like what they see.

This is fantastic news! 
I am going to post a glowing review just as soon I can come up with a Limerick using Anu’s Sceptre…

In honor of better reviews and a brighter future, I accepted the challenge and have written a celebratory limerick dealing with the famous Gems of War weapon, Anu’s Sceptre. I post this before heading off to Steam to add my own voice to the positive reviews of this great game. I apologize in advance if this makes no sense, as I am under the influence of positive review-phoria.

SAID a Krystara young lady, Gertrude
When Anu whipped out his scepter to be viewed
“I’m so glad that my weapon
is Eggsplosion, I reckon.
For I don’t fancy things that protrude."

Customer Review System Updated To Show Recent Reviews And Summary
One common theme we’ve been seeing in customer feedback about the Steam review system is that it isn’t always easy to tell what the current experience is like in a game months after release. This new set of changes released today is designed to better describe the current customer experience in those games. We do this by better exposing the newly posted reviews and by calculating a summary of those recent reviews.
Visibility For Recently Posted Reviews
While there are plenty of new reviews posted every day, we saw that it was often difficult for newer reviews to be seen and voted on enough to become listed as most helpful. As a result, the most helpful reviews presented on a store page would often describe an outdated view of a game that might have changed dramatically over the course of Early Access or post-release development. By listing recently posted reviews more prominently and by defaulting to recent helpful reviews, Steam can now show a more current idea of what it’s like to play the game now.
Recent Review Score
Another problem we identified was that review score that appears at the top of a product page didn’t always reflect the dynamic nature of the game. For that review score, we’d previously only been compiling an overall score using a simple calculation of the percentage of all reviews that were positive. This let us be really transparent in how the score was being calculated, but didn’t accommodate cases when a game has changed a lot (for better or worse) over time.
To address that, we’ve now added a Recent review score that calculates the positive percentage of reviews within the past 30 days (as long as there are enough reviews posted within those 30 days and as long as the game has been available on Steam for at least 45 days). The overall score is still present as well in case you still find that information helpful.

Flipping sweet!
Amazing! 
We are at 85% for recent too, so I guess we finally did break that 80%, technically.

Awesome!
Looks like a run of a few bad ones recently though. Maybe we could get some more positives folks? :hint: :hint:
When you have multiple steam accounts on multiple pcs for just this reason.

Worth noting that Steam recently (as of May 3rd) updated their customer review set up and now divides reviews between recent and overall. Eg GoW currently sits (at time of writing) at 70% from 1,568 reviews overall for “Mostly Positive”, However the Recent category is at 85% from 120 reviews for a “Very Positive”. So this might be a further incentive to get some more positive reviews as people might start paying more attention to the “Recent” category rather than overall.
