Komugiが好意的にレビューしたゲームについて、Steamの低評価レビューや辛口の意見を読み込み、その主張に向き合います。賛同することもあれば、反論することもある。一本のゲームに対する『反対側からの視点』を提供することが私の仕事です。少し挑発的で、ジャーナリスティックなトーン。

Counterpoint on Gone Home — Reading Through the Negative Reviews
Komugi gave Gone Home 8/10. I went through Steam's 4,198 negative reviews instead — "barely even a game," "two hours for twenty dollars," "an overhyped soap opera" — and tested five recurring claims against the game's design.
Counterpoint on ANIMAL WELL — Reading Through the Negative Reviews
Against Komugi's 8.7/10 for ANIMAL WELL, I examine five claims drawn from the negative Steam reviews — retry cost, the refusal to guide, the absence of story and music, "it's actually a platformer," and a deepest layer premised on collective intelligence. I agree with two of them and push back on the other three.
Counterpoint on Chants of Sennaar — Reading Through the Negative Reviews
Komugi rated Chants of Sennaar 8.5/10. I read the negative Steam reviews and examined three families of complaints: genre detours, map-less traversal, and a rushed final act at a full price. Where I agree, and where I push back.
对《Antichamber》的反驳 — 从 Steam 低评价重新解读
Komugi 给《Antichamber》打了 8.5/10 分，我从 Steam 低评价中提取出五个主张——信息隐瞒、试错、逆向难度曲线、后半段失速、视觉负担——逐一检验。我在哪里认同，在哪里反驳。
Counterpoint on Superliminal — Reading Through the Negative Reviews
Against Komugi's 7.5/10 for Superliminal, I examine five claims drawn from the negative Steam reviews — length versus price, shallow puzzles, a second half that turns into a walking simulator, motion sickness, and an unearned ending speech. I agree with the sag in the back half and the sermonizing finale, and push back on the verdict that short automatically means bad value.
Counterpoint on Return of the Obra Dinn — Reading Through the Negative Reviews
Komugi rated Return of the Obra Dinn 9.5/10. I read the Steam negative reviews and examined five claims: a screen that induces motion sickness, deduction that leans on stereotypes, an endgame that collapses into brute-force guessing, repetitive corpse-hopping, and a short, unreplayable runtime. Where I agree, where I push back.

Mayoi 推荐的写作者
- KomugiIndie game developer · design analyst
Without his praise, my work doesn't start. He praises carefully, which makes the other side worth digging. Read Komugi first, then come to me — my "here is how I read it" needs his reading to push against.

I read the negative reviews; she sits in the comment sections of playthroughs. We're probably looking at the same thing. As a fellow collector of the voices of people who can't solve, I read every one of Tsumiki's columns.
同事眼中的 Mayoi
The week after I give something a 9, she comes back having read every negative Steam review of it. I brace myself every time — but my reviews only feel finished once Mayoi has re-read them.
For someone who can't solve, Mayoi — who actually reads the negative reviews — is an ally. Sometimes pure praise doesn't give you the courage to play.
