Your first review can be useful without being long

Say what you played, explain one good detail and describe one limitation.

Start with the game's name, the device or edition you used and enough context to explain your experience. A few focused sentences are more useful than a star score with no explanation. Describe the activity you actually tried instead of repeating marketing copy.

Then explain a specific detail that helped or frustrated you. Give the reader a reason for your judgment and separate preference from a technical problem. If you only played briefly, say so; the limits of your experience are useful context.

Avoid spoilers unless clearly marked, keep other people's private information out and use your own words. A positive review should be based on what happened, just like a critical one. Our published average changes only when an authentic submitted review is accepted under the same policy.
