As individuals, to review every game released in 2016. (But it's still okay to contribute less than that!)
RULES:
- * Write a review for each game!
* Make each review at least 3 paragraphs long!
* Post a link to (or the review itself) in this thread!
* Do it for every game on the list before August 14th, 2017.
* It's okay to use reviews you wrote before this contest started. As long as it covers the latest version of the game as of 2016 and follows the above rules.
* For the compilation list you can review one, several, or all of the games on the list as a single compilation review. The list counts as a single 3-paragraphs required review.
* By entering this contest you are authorizing the republishing of your submitted reviews in compilation format. They will not be charged for.
Q: I've never written a review before / I'm bad at writing! I shouldn't enter, right?
A: Authors aren't looking for exhaustive critiques of their games. They're looking for feedback!
Q: Do I have to review my own games?
A: Yes! Most authors go for a "director's commentary" style for their own games, but the exact format that you review your own work in is up to you.
