Here is the list of the broken stuff about reviewing on itch.io.
In this case, you may want to take a look at this browser game...

The lack of copy and paste is extremely frustrating, and seems to have been an issue for a year or more judging by other posts on the topic. Pasting into a rich text editor should not be a difficult problem to solve (particularly as they seem to be using the Redactor editor, a library which supports paste out of the box...)
It's not bad in itself, but the text review includes adding a link and a YouTube video. And when I tried it's even worse than I thought.
Remember when I said that you can't add a link or a video to a review ? Well that wasn't a joke you LITERALLY can't do that. I went to the link insertion and the embed video insertion menus, and the text boxes aren't text boxes. They look like it at first, but you can't type anything there.
Greetings, folks. Usually I lurk, but I'm having this issue also. Unable to right-click-paste or ctrl+v paste text (either from Google docs or a plain text doc) from the clipboard into a review box. I disabled all my Google Chrome extensions. At first I thought it was a spam prevention feature or something, but I write long and in-depth reviews. My current review is 2,200+ words long. Will I have to rewrite all of that to leave my review?
This has been reported several times:
As of november 2023, I found a workaround for the pasting problem: type this in your browser console:
window.$.Redactor.prototype.paste = () => ({})
I do not fully understand the underlying problem, but I found out that itch.io uses the Redactor (https://imperavi.com/redactor/) rich text editor, and this line of code disables all the convoluted clipboard-pasting management that this Javascript library does.
You can configure your browser to run this JS code line on every visit on a itch.io game page by using a GreaseMonkey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey) or ViolentMonkey (https://violentmonkey.github.io/) script like this:
// ==UserScript==
// @name itch.io-clipboard-paste-fix
// @namespace Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match https://*.itch.io/*
// @grant none
// @version 1.0
// @author Lucas Cimon
// @description Enable clipboard pasting in itch.io review forms
// ==/UserScript==
window.$.Redactor.prototype.paste = () => ({})
