Scrape all reviews, also those without a comment

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was surprised that the number of reviews scraped was always much smaller than the number of total reviews as indicated on the Google Play website. Specifically, I was scraping reviews of apps that are exclusively used in Germany, so I assumed that setting country and lang to 'de' should yield almost as many reviews as the total number given by Google Play. I also posed the question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75473985/google-play-scraper-doesnt-scrape-all-reviews?noredirect=1#comment133166066_75473985
A user pointed me to the difference between reviews (with a comment) and mere ratings. Yet, Google Play seems to call both "reviews".

Describe the solution you'd like
Perhaps an extra argument that gives the user the choice whether all reviews should be included or only those with comments.

Thanks!

Hi @JoMingyu @sternenklar
I am also unable to get rating info(reviews without comments). Could you please provide a solution for this case?

Thanks in Advance!
