I like the idea of having metacritic and more review-oriented info upfront near games. There's currently a few browser extensions that solve these issues. Valve would benefit from reaching out to these developers and implementing some of these features directly into the storefront. [ although, I get that it's a balance of keeping it feature-full + lightweight ]

Steam at least used to include the metacritic score on the storefront page (though never as prominently as their own tomatoes-esque system).
Yeah, Steam does a good job at the moment of including user and professional reviews on the game pages. The fact they let you sort and filter game searches by average review is great. Also, the tools to track changes in reviews over time is really useful to see how early access games are changing during development.

Here's hoping for more in the same vein!
