Reviews. What Matters?
One thought on “Reviews. What Matters?”
OK, I think your video came down to these 4 items:
1. What is the game about?
2. Who is the game for?
3. Is the work to play the game worth the reward of play?
4. What are the reasons to like and dislike the game.
OK, those sound reasonable to me. 1 should be clinically descriptive. 2 is interpretive, but has some personal in it as well. 3 & 4 are both very personal to you as the reviewer.
We are going to have to continue to agree to disagree on the need for full and even multiple plays, as I do not think 2 &3, but particularly 3, can be determined even by a very experienced player/reviewer without full play unless something is very obviously totally broken as indicated by even partial play.

So, cool. Go for it. 🙂
