On another note, I just got confirmation that the mods of this website see First Impressions (of the first 5 minutes of a game no less) as legit reviews. This makes no sense to me. A first impression cannot possibly stand for the whole game, or any form of media. A first impression is just that, a first impression. Not a review.
Imagine reviewing Star Wars over the opening exposition, or a burger over just the bun. Ridiculous to me. I want feedback and criticism. I can't do anything based on a first impression, it has zero value to anyone. There's no way I could possibly improve off this.
It's one thing to say "I disliked the first 5 minutes", and another to say "I've only played the first 5 minutes so everything else is bad too." The former is fine.
While don't get me wrong, there are some criticisms one could make in the first 5 min of a game that could be useful, if you can critique the art or you don't like the writing style, there are things that could be said, but this game is so long that you can't even consider a proper review.
Though as far as your burger analogy, I would say it is more like basing it on the wrapper, or maybe the sticker they used to hold the ticket to the wrapper. lol
There are some people that come back and update their reviews, but that is still shitty. I got death wishes once over a story I was writing, but what bothered me was that they wouldn't even bother to tell me what it was they didn't like!
This is still one of the best games on this site to me, and you are one of my favorite devs on here, due to how active you are here, and willing to engage people, discuss the lore, and those rare shortcomings. It's not worth letting it get to you, there will always be assholes.
