11. Refrain from profanity ('bad words') unless it's a direct quotation from the game. Profanity looks unprofessional and tends to disrupt the tone of the review.

@WhiteShark make sure the images are in either jpeg or avif format, unless it's something that warrants lossless compression.

If you think your review has been ignored, just ping me and I'll crack the slavewhip and get them lazy review reviewers on it.
24 hours without a response is long enough to ping me to see what's up with the team.


[edit]
Also, if you're an active poster with a strong grasp on English who is interested in doing editing, PM @WhiteShark to discuss becoming a review reviewer.

I wanna review games.....but I haven't played **** lately. I don't have the time. Okay. Can I review games I haven't played? Can I? Like a real, professional games journalist.

Watch a youtube video, read the wikipedia article, and then ask ChatGPT to do a write up.

And then submit it to some outlet of lesser prestige, for we have standards:

4. Reviews must be of the full game, barring exceptional circumstances. That is, the reviewer should have completed the game at least once—or have strong reasons for why he did not complete the game and mention those in the review.
9. Reviews must be written by a human, not AI. Using AI for editing is fine.

What are the criteria for Online games? Is the only additional guideline that you have to specify what time you were playing the game?

That's a good point. I think specifying what server and version you played and a "significant" amount of playtime would be sufficient; it would be difficult to demand completion of most online games.

I'm playing Desperados III currently, I saw it was in the "non woke" category here but I beg to differ. It's not in your nose but definitely there and why Mimimi studio ended with Shadow Gambit troonfest and died on the spot.

I'm tempted to write a review tbh, I haven't seen one.
