Before I begin writing any game reviews, I magically woke up at 3am, half-consciously scheming how I would structure my game reviews. I've brought it down to 5 topics each with a rating out of 2, to give a total of 10.
- Story plot
- Art style
- Music
- Character development/enhancement
- Movement/Mobility
Most of the games I will review are role-playing games or ones that requires upskilling. If I step out of this genre then some of the topics I will rate, will definitely change.

Story Plot 0/2
I'l be looking out for consistency, plot holes, plot twists, emotion, and the fluidity of story-telling.
Art and Style 0/2
This is subjective right? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Correct however, I would also review on the execution of the art style. This is what I typically look out for when it comes to the graphics design of the game - is it rendered well? Are there enough shadows or contrasts and depth of colours to create a believable place? Does it hold the certain art style consistently throughout the entire game right down to the finest detail?
Music 0/2
Does the music evoke emotions of any kind? Does it suit the story arc or is it there to chime nonchalantly? The instruments and the tonal range of music will also be taken into consideration.
Character development/enhancement 0/2
Here, we look at the way that the character has developed from the beginning until the end of the story/game: the upskilling and skill tree system - has the character become more powerful as the story advances? Do the skills or tools you've gained allow you to explore places not explored before?
Movement/Mobility 0/2
Fluid motion and controller/keyboard stability is key to getting the game right. Excellent control and precision is what players look for most in the game, and of course with no lag.
Conclusion
Lastly, I think it is important to highlight the game's difficulty for a player like myself and the time I've put towards it. So this will also be included in, but are not weighed into the ratings. The final score rating will be out of 10.
Hope you will enjoy my upcoming review.
