Replace This With Your First Review

Replace this paragraph with your hook. One paragraph — what this game is and the claim you're making about it. No throat-clearing. The reader came to read your take, not a Wikipedia summary.

How I played

47 hours, PC via Steam. Finished the main campaign and explored most of the optional content. Update this with how you actually played: difficulty setting, whether you finished it, what version/patch, co-op or solo.

The argument

This is the section that matters. Not a plot summary — an argument. What is the game doing, and does it succeed at what it's trying to be?

Get specific. Name the mechanic that works. Quote the line of dialogue that reveals something real about the design. Say what you actually think, not what a responsible reviewer is supposed to think.

If the game is making an argument about something — power, labor, freedom, survival — engage with it. Don't announce the subtext. Apply the lens and let the reading speak for itself.

Verdict

One paragraph. Who is this for? Who should skip it? What conditions change the recommendation — genre affinity, specific platform performance, DLC state, patch history?

No scores. No bullet-pointed pros and cons. Just your read.
