General Game Review Breakdowns
Game reviews are broken up into three to four main parts and two minor parts: gameplay, game design, and story, and an overview and a final verdict respectively.
The gameplay aspect is there to cover basic gameplay elements, highlight the overall quality and functionality of player interaction, and to determine how "fun" the game is. The game design aspect is to analyze the games optimization, style, music, and any minute details that go into creating the game. The story aspect is to analyze the game's story while staying spoiler-free, and trying to determine how compelling the characters, setting, premise, and so are within the context of the game. Finally, online gives insight into the online multiplayer aspect of a game, if it has one. It goes into the matchmaking, quality of online, balance, and general feel of online play.
The overview aspect is to bring readers up to speed on the game, and the verdict is to summarize and wrap up any thoughts presented within the review.
A final score is given at the end of the review with a number ranging between 1 and 10 with room for half points.
In addition, the systems that are in bold represent the platform in which the game was reviewed on.
