Why I Review Every Game I Play

I've made it a habit to write a review for every game I play. Here's why, and why I think you should too. ## It Helps Other Players Every review adds to the collective knowledge. Your perspective might be exactly what someone needs to decide whether to try a game. ## It Helps Developers Constructive reviews, especially for indie games, give developers direct feedback from their audience. Many developers read reviews here. ## It Helps You Writing about a game forces you to think critically about your experience. You'll notice things you wouldn't otherwise, and your ability to articulate what makes games work (or not) improves over time. ## It Builds Community Reviews spark discussions. Some of the best conversations I've had here started from review comments. ## My Process I wait at least a day after finishing before writing. Fresh impressions are valuable, but a bit of reflection leads to better analysis.
