Why Does Everyone On This Sub Like Total War Pharaoh?

Hey guys, I am not trying to antagonize anyone; I am just genuinely confused.

When I check steam charts, I see barely 900 people playing Pharaoh. A lot of the other Total War games have 5k+ players (even older ones like Rome and Medieval), but it seems like no one even plays Pharoh. In real life, I have never seen anyone even talk about this game.

However, when I go on this sub, it seems like EVERYONE loves Total War Pharaoh. Now, at first, I believed that this meant that only people who played the game liked it, and it simply didn't have enough players, but then when I checked the Steam reviews, it only had a 64% approval rating.

Here's where it gets interesting. I have seen HUNDREDS of comments in this subreddit of people raving about this game... even people saying it is their favorite. How is this possible? Are people saying it is their favorite and then simply not playing it? Why does it seem like there is an alliance between Warhammer fans and Pharoah fans when Pharoah is historical? I don't see the other historical ones getting that same love from Warhammer fans.

Or is this sub just not in touch with the actual player base? I am confused about how this is possible. charts,

Edit: I was looking at the wrong Pharaoh on steam for the reviews, however even that one the most recent reviews only have a 65% approval rating, but an 83% all time.
Edit #2: Holy frick... this kinda blew up, this is exactly what I mean.
