Store reviews - walls of text

Is it possible to put a simple line break in your text when adding a review to a game on the store?

At the moment, you can end up with horrific walls of text with no formatting.

I'm not sure. Can you take a screenshot or give me a link to a review like this?

this is definitely a thing - I've written a couple of reviews and it just gloms the text together with no line breaks and such

Though you are more than slightly incoherent, I agree with you Madam,
a plum is a terrible thing to do to a nostril.

Actually, viewing store titles in a browser rather than Home, I can't even see any reviews showing up, and I'm not sure if I can grab a link to a review via Home?

I know for certain that my own review of Robo Recall definitely has blank lines to break things up, but when you view the review (and every other review on there), it's just a single block of text.

Just as an example, this is how my review appears if I edit it:

---
"Riiiiidge Racer"" - I mean, "Robo Recall!".


Robo Recall is unapologetically a first person arcade shooter that channels the spirits of the likes of Namco, AM2 and Sega.


It has all the tropes of those old arcade games and embrasses them fully, but this time doesn't charge you a quid a go (ok, you need all the expensive VR gear, but I'm guessing you already have all that given you're reading this!).


I don't care that it's a wave shooter, and I don't care that it's teleport only - this is an absolute joy to play. It transports me back to those over the top 90's arcade games, complete with a modern VR twist, and I couldn't be happier []-)


Fast and frantic arcade fun - what more do you want?!

Now, this is how it appears in the review list:

I see what you are saying. Let me ask about this.

Cool - a bit of formatting would make things much more readable.

Also, was it just me that couldn't see them, or are reviews not actually included if you look on the store via a browser?
