PS1-Style Horror Game Free on Steam Ahead of Halloween

A new free game on Steam called The Roach Hotel has surprisingly positive reviews – currently 92% of players recommend it. However, it’s important to be cautious when interpreting this score. Free games naturally have lower expectations and people are less likely to be upset by a disappointing experience, which can artificially boost their ratings. Also, people often download free games on a whim without much research, unlike when they spend money on a game. This means a high approval rating for a free game is rarer and more noteworthy. Many free games on Steam don’t receive such positive feedback.
