    PROS

    • I can write a list
    • It will be a few lines
    • I can fluff it up a bit
    • Keep going
    • Almost there
    • It’s an okay game

    CONS

    • I’ll write 200 of these
    • Most will be nitpicky
    • I still played over 1000 hours
    • I clearly have never written a line of code yet somehow know how they could have done it better
    • I should be paid as a game journalist

    3/10

      at least these reviews are more informative about a game than the “just leaving this cat here” for thr billionth time

      Eh. I mark people complaining about core elements of the genre or similar stuff that’s a clear valid design choice as “not helpful” if it’s whiney enough sometimes, but at least they’re talking about the actual game.
