I've played maybe a few games and I'd like to talk about those. That’s not a very long list, and I’m not very quick about getting through new ones I’ve started, so this will probably be a sparsely-attended thread. However, I think the types of games I like tend to be pretty different from what most on this forum like, so hey, maybe you’ll see something cool!
Most of the games I play are old - old as balls - so chances are you’ve A.) decided a long time ago that the game about which I’m writing is not the kind of game for you and you’d never play it anyway, or B.) you’ve already played it. If you’ve already played it, bring on the discussion! If you're not into it, okay! (I don't have anything else to add; I'm not into rooty-tooty-point 'n shooty wartime games, or sports sims, so I probably would just respond to a thread about those with "Okay!", as I assume several of you will probably do with what I put here. It's all good.)
There will probably be spoilers, albeit probably minor ones that won’t affect your enjoyment of your own playthrough. I won’t tag spoilers like that specifically, so just assume that every time I write about a game, there will be at least one minor spoiler. If I have to write about something critical which might actually ruin a game for someone (i.e. giving away an ending or a major plot point) I will be sure to add in spoiler alerts or whatever needs to happen.
Note: I am bad at writing reviews and critiques, so these will be more summaries than judgments, although there will be elements of both.
For every game, I’ll at least try to mention:
Title. I mean, obviously.
Official Site. If available. Else Steam, because that’s where I get pretty much everything.
Developer. Which typically means little to me, because I haven’t played enough games to associate certain developers with really great games, or anything (there are a few exceptions), but I know it may mean more to more avid players.
Initial Release Date. Self explanatory.
Genre. You’ll have to forgive me if I use the wrong word. Video game genres are to me like genres of rock; there are dozens and sometimes the differences between two are minor and somewhat subjective.
Price. The normal price. If it happens to be on sale when I make the post, maybe the sale price.
My Overall Rating. Out of 10, compared to all other games I’ve played, plus pros and cons that led me to that rating. Completely subjective. Saljective. Trademark it.
