Always play blind first for the experience, then use a checklist on the second run for completion.

Check for missable items/quests at the start. Nothing worse than realizing you missed something permanently.

I use the guides on this site to track collectibles. Way better than alt-tabbing to a wiki.

Agreed! We have the Indie Spotlight category for exactly this. Anyone can submit indie games for review.

The indie scene is so strong right now. More visibility for small devs is always a good thing.

Write honest reviews! Even a short review helps with visibility and gives devs valuable feedback.

Share on social media. Word of mouth is the #1 driver for indie game sales.

Vote for indie games here on RankMyGame. Rankings help with discoverability.

Participate in wishlisting campaigns. High wishlist numbers help games get featured on storefronts.

Fighting games mostly. The mental game-within-the-game is what keeps me coming back.

Strategy games and card games. Love the deep thinking required.

FPS games competitively. Nothing beats the adrenaline of a close match.

Auto-battlers are my competitive fix right now. Less mechanical skill, more strategic thinking.

Already submitted a few tips. The verification system is a nice touch.

Great addition! This will help new players a lot.

Been diving into some retro RPGs. There's something special about the pixel art era.

Picked up a new roguelike and I can't put it down. Every run feels completely different.

Replaying some classics from my childhood. They hold up surprisingly well!

Just started a city builder. 6 hours disappeared and I have no regrets.

Working through my backlog. Finally beat that RPG I started 3 months ago!

Indie platformers have been my jam this week. So many creative level designs out there.

Finally 100%ing a game I had been working on for months. The achievement felt incredible.

That surprise indie release in October was my highlight. Came out of nowhere and blew me away.

For me it was joining this community. Found so many great games through the rankings.

Beating the hardest difficulty on that action game. Took me 47 attempts on the final boss!

Completed a no-hit run of an entire souls-like game. Took me 3 months of practice.

100% completion on a massive RPG — every side quest, every collectible, every achievement.

Won a local tournament in a fighting game as a total underdog. Still riding that high.

Beat a notoriously difficult platformer that only 2% of players have completed according to the achievement stats.

Built a functioning computer inside a sandbox game. Took weeks of redstone-style engineering.

Dual monitor PC setup with a mechanical keyboard. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

Couch gaming with a big TV and a wireless controller. Comfort is king.

Mostly on handheld these days. Love being able to game anywhere in the house.

Ultrawide monitor, ergonomic chair, RGB everything. Yes, the RGB does make me better at games.

Submitted my first game and it was approved in a few hours. Super smooth process!

Can I submit my own indie game? I'm a developer.

Absolutely! Developers are welcome to submit their own games. We also have developer profiles — check the developer section.

Love that my vote actually matters here. On bigger platforms it feels like shouting into the void.

The daily/weekly/monthly split is clever. Keeps things fresh while preserving all-time favorites.

Do votes expire? Like if I voted for a game 3 months ago, does it still count?

Your vote always counts toward the all-time ranking. For daily/weekly/monthly, it only counts within that period.

Great tips! I would add: play the game for a reasonable amount of time before reviewing. First impressions can be misleading.

The pros and cons feature on RankMyGame is really helpful for structuring reviews.

Point 4 is key. I trust reviewers who acknowledge flaws in games they love.

How long should a review be? I tend to write really long ones.

Quality over quantity! A focused 3-paragraph review is better than a rambling 10-paragraph one. Hit the key points and be concise.

I keep a spreadsheet of games I want to play and rate my interest level. Helps me prioritize.

Set a rule: finish one game before starting another. Reduced my backlog from 50+ to under 10.

I give every new game a 2-hour test. If it doesn't hook me by then, it goes to the "maybe later" pile.

Uninstall games you haven't touched in 3 months. If you don't miss them, you never would have played them.
