I always assume that all the ratings are fake when there is a low count of ratings since it is easy for the seller to place a bunch of game orders when they are starting out.
A bigger problem I find is many Amazon listings having a large number of genuine positive reviews, but for a completely different product than the one currently for sale.
Recently I was buying a chromecast dongle thing and one of the listings had some kind of "Amazon recommends" badge on it, from the platform. It had hundreds of 5 start reviews, but if you read them they were all for a jar of guava jam from Mexico.
I'm baffled why Amazon permits and even seemingly endorses this kind of rating farming
