As individuals, to review every game released in 2017. (But it's still okay to contribute less than that!)
BONUS TOP FIVE:
In addition to the normal review contest, we're also creating a top 5 games of 2017 list. Votes will be weighed by the number of reviews written for the contest.
To vote simply post an ordered 1-5 list in this thread. You don't have to write any reviews to vote, nor do you have to vote in order to write reviews.
The results will be posted shortly after the review contest ends.
REVIEW 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 March 12th, 2018.
* 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. You can write separate reviews for each game if preferred.
* 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.

Game Criteria:
General: Released in 2017 or received a major content update in 2017.
Compilation Games: 2017 minor content updates (more substantial than just bug fixes, but short on new content), extremely short, requires two players, exclusive to phones, commercial (unless free copies are offered to reviewers), etc.
Not Even Compilation Games: Tech demos, tutorials, tools, 2017 minor updates that don't add any new content (or have ambiguous update descriptions), not OHR games.
Qualifying length is less about literal play time and more about a game having "things to talk about". Selection is incredibly arbitrary, and games may be shifted between lists as people make arguments for/against games..
