In that case, I see why this is a secret. Judging casual players sharing their experiences with their friends for playing on easy mode and only sharing that specific experience, just because they happen to call it a 'review', is an asshole thing to do.

DA

It's just as weird to me to insist that people who are writing reviews, listing pros and cons and giving star ratings to game content like sound/graphics/story/gameplay, and intending them to be reviews, are not reviewing games to you because they're posting on their journal instead being paid to post on IGN.

Imagine if you did all that, meant it to be a review because your hobby is reviewing video games, then someone went "nah, that's not a review." What the heck lol

But unpaid reviews aren't just people sharing experiences with their friends or writing on their blogs. With all due to respect, that's a ridiculous thing to think.

The reviews on, for example, a game's Steam store page are not paid, and are written not by professionals but by people who just enjoy playing games. These reviews are intended to give total strangers an idea of what to expect from the game, and whether it's worth their time to buy it. People (again: total strangers browsing the store, not friends of the reviewers!) make purchasing decisions based off of these reviews. They can have a genuine effect on whether a game does well, and on what sort of reputation it develops.

Within that context, yes, people who are leaving reviews should ideally have played in such a way that they'll be able to speak to the game's mechanics, not just its story.
