REVIEWS
For Steam games, a review is similar to the ones found in RGR and VGR game pages. If a user posts a review for a game, it must be well though out, follow a set of guidelines, and also must be entertaining for the reader.
A review must be at least 300 words long and must include a description for each of the following categories. The categories are as follows.
Graphics. (What does the game look like?)
Music. (Soundtrack)
Gameplay. (Story, Depth, Difficulty, Controls, Battle System, Setting, etc.)
Pros and Cons. (What did you like the most about the game and what did you hate?)
These 4 categories are mandatory and must be found in every reviews. However, other topics may be included such as game/franchise history, developers, fun facts, what made you buy the game, etc.
Each category description must be accompanied by a grade out of 100 and the overall game must also receive a grade out of 100.
OPINIONS
Opinions are generally shorter than reviews and detailed descriptions of each category are not mandatory and do not need to be more than a sentence or two long. However, if a detailed description is made for two or more categories, then the post will be classified as a review and the word count and category requirements must be made.
As a general rule of thumb, a good opinion should be at least 50 words, and as long as they do not go into excessive detail of each category, there is no word count limit for an opinion.
As of now, we plan on having a small, featured review thread. As long as reviews follow all of the requirements and are highly well written and are insightful and fun for the reader, the review will be featured.
