How to review a game

 

While reading the reviews, you must have thought many a time: ‘I can do that!’ Sure you can, but let me assure you that reviewing games is an arduous process and not the ramblings of a frustrated cynic. A game is a million dollar team effort, so you are accountable to all those souls who have put a significant amount of time and their lives into it. Treat their babies with respect. If you think you have the cynicism of a critic, and the storytelling capabilities of your grandma (let’s assume that your grandma is a great storyteller, and not a dumb hick who sells crack cocaine on the streets) here’s a straightforward step-by-step guide to reviewing games.

 

1. Play It

It doesn’t take Einstein to figure that out. No, what we mean is that as a reviewer it is your duty to complete all the levels in the game. Take your time, play all the missions, and take screenshots of the game while you’re at it. If it’s an adventure/action game; you must finish it completely and see the ending cinematic before you can shoot off any rants about it.

In action games check out all the difficulty levels to understand the AI/game balancing issues. If the game offers multiplayer, then play it online. In short, check out all the highlighted aspects of the game.

 

If the game is a sequel or a part of a gaming franchise, read up on the backstory/prequels to obtain some information about the earlier versions.

 

2. Take notes

Jot down all the points on a sheet while you are playing the game. Write down all the flaws, the pros, cons, bugs and whatever you may come across. Mark down as many observations as possible on a sheet. It helps when you sit down to write a review, because you might forget a thing or two.

  • Graphics

This is the sex appeal of the game and is often a deciding factor for many. Ask yourself these questions: Does it LOOK like a next-gen game? Does the game feature any new innovations? Are there any apparent flaws (clipping issues, missing textures)?

  • Audio

Sounds are very important to the ambience of the game, and help in building the mood and atmosphere. How is the in-game music, how are the voices, how is the soundtrack?

  • Gameplay

Was the game fun? Was it engaging, immersive, and addictive? This is a vital aspect of the game, and without it games wouldn’t be entertainment (this is the hardest aspect to judge – everything from AI, to level design, to pacing to the interface, needs to be just right in order for the game to play right!)

  • Paisa vasool

Keep in mind, the price while rating a game. If it’s a budget title, do not expect hi-quality production values from it. Rate the title vis-à-vis the price.

  • Personal Bias

Sometimes a game might not feel right despite having everything in place. We think you as a reviewer must have an intuitional feeling whether the game is ‘it’ or ‘sh*t’. If the game was original, if it offered a new type of innovative gameplay, or the game just clicked, forget everything else, and give it the points it deserves.

ps: will post a genre-wise guideline for writing reviews soon.
