how to review a game on steam

Alright, listen up, y’all. Gonna tell ya how to write one of them game reviews on that Steam thingy. You know, for them computer games the young’uns play. Ain’t too hard, even an old woman like me can figure it out, so you can too.

First thing’s first, you gotta actually play the darn game. Can’t go around makin’ stuff up, now can ya? Steam knows if you played it or not, so don’t try to be sneaky. If you got it from a friend or played it for free one weekend, that don’t count. Gotta own it yourself, fair and square.

Okay, so you played the game. Now what? Well, fire up that Steam contraption. You know, the thing with all the games on it. Click on that “Store” button at the top. It’s like goin’ to the market, but for games. Find the game you wanna yap about. Type it in the little search box, just like lookin’ for somethin’ on the Google.

• Find the game in the store.
• Make sure you own it.
• Look for the “Write a review” box. It’s usually right there under the big picture of the game.

Now, the writin’ part. Don’t gotta be no fancy wordsmith. Just tell it like it is. What’s the game about? Is it one of them shootin’ games? Or maybe one where you build stuff? Or maybe it’s got a story, like them books the kids read. Tell folks a little bit about that. Like, “This game is about a fella who gotta save the princess from a dragon,” or somethin’ like that.

Then talk about how you play the game. Do you jump around? Solve puzzles? Talk to people? What makes this game different from all the others? Is it super hard? Or easy peasy? Maybe it’s like another game you played before. You can say, “It’s kinda like that Pac-Man game, but with more shootin’.”

Important thing is to tell folks what you think. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Why? Don’t just say “It’s good” or “It’s bad.” Give some reasons! Like, “I liked it ’cause the shootin’ was fun,” or “I hated it ’cause it was too hard and I kept dyin’.” Be honest, now. Don’t go around lyin’ just to make the game look good or bad. Some folks try to use reviews to sell games, but that ain’t right. Just tell the truth, that’s all.

And don’t forget to talk about different parts of the game. Maybe it has a story mode and a multiplayer mode. Tell folks about both! How do the controls feel? Are they easy to learn? Or do they make you wanna throw your computer out the window? All that stuff matters.

Here’s a little secret. You wanna be a good reviewer? Read other reviews! See what other folks are sayin’. It’ll help you think about the game in different ways. And don’t be afraid to change your review later if you play the game more and your opinion changes. It’s your review, you can do what you want with it.

So there you have it. That’s how you write a game review on Steam. Just play the game, tell folks what it’s about, how you play it, and what you think. And be honest! Now go on, get to writin’. And don’t forget to tell your grandma about it!
