how to review games on steam

Well, howdy there, y’all! Lemme tell ya somethin’ ’bout writin’ them Steam game reviews. You know, them things folks read before they decide if a game’s worth their hard-earned cash. It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya.

First off, ya gotta actually play the game. Can’t be talkin’ ’bout somethin’ ya ain’t even seen, right? Like judgin’ a pie without tastin’ it. Wouldn’t make no sense. So, get in there and play the darn game on Steam. Not your neighbor’s copy, not your nephew’s, yours. Makes sense, right?

Fire up Steam, that thingy with all the games on it.
Find the game you wanna yak about. You know, the one you played.

Now, you’re lookin’ at the game’s page, right? See that there box, says somethin’ ’bout “Write a review“? Well, that’s your spot! Click on it, don’t be shy.

Okay, here’s where the writin’ part comes in. Don’t gotta be fancy, just tell it like it is. What’s the game all about? Is it one of them shootin’ games? Or maybe one where ya gotta build stuff? Tell folks!

Think of it like this: you’re tellin’ your friend ’bout a new pie you baked. You’d say, “Well, it’s an apple pie, nice and sweet, but the crust was a bit tough.” Same deal here.

Talk about the story, if it’s got one. Is it a good story? Did it make ya laugh? Cry? Or maybe it just made ya scratch your head, wonderin’ what in tarnation was goin’ on? Spill the beans!

Then there’s the game stuff, the mechanics, they call it. How do ya play the game? Is it easy? Hard? Fun? Frustratin’? Is it like other games you’ve played? Maybe it’s like that one with the jumpin’ plumber, or maybe it’s somethin’ totally new and different. Let folks know!

And don’t forget to say what you liked and didn’t like. That’s the important part, ain’t it? Maybe the shootin’ was fun but the story was boring. Maybe the buildin’ was cool but the controls were clunky. Be honest, now! Nobody wants a sugar-coated review, they want the truth, just like when you’re deciding on a new brand of coffee. If it’s terrible, it’s terrible. Don’t go tellin’ folks something that aint true, alright? Just be straight with them.

Now, some folks get all hung up on who made the game. Don’t matter one bit! A good game is a good game, no matter who made it. And a bad game, well, it’s still a bad game. So, focus on the game itself, not the folks behind it. That makes sense, right?

And for goodness sake, be polite. Ain’t no need for name-callin’ or gettin’ all riled up. Just say your piece and be done with it. You can be clear without being mean, you catch my drift? Just be a nice person, it ain’t hard.

After you’ve written your piece, Steam might ask you if you’d recommend the game to other folks. Think hard now! Would you tell your best friend to buy it? Or would you tell ’em to steer clear? That’s a big decision for some folks. Give them an honest heads up, alright?

So, there ya have it! That’s how ya write a Steam game review, plain and simple. Just tell folks what ya think, be honest, and be polite. And for Pete’s sake, make sure you actually played the game first! Now, go on and write some reviews, ya hear?

One last thing, you can also look at other folks’ opinions in the comment section or check out the game’s tags, but don’t go copyin’ nobody, alright? Use your own words, just like you would tell me about it.
