Purchase Policy
We purchase all reviewed games at retail price using our own funds. We accept
no promotional consideration, early access contingent on coverage, or review copies that might introduce
bias. This ensures our reviews reflect the experience paying customers receive, not a curated preview
experience.
Completion Requirements
Reviewers must complete main story content or invest minimum 15 hours
(whichever is greater) before publishing. Multiplayer-focused titles require assessment across multiple
play sessions spanning at least one week to evaluate server stability, matchmaking quality, and community
behaviour.
Platform Testing
Multi-platform releases are tested on at least two platforms to identify
performance discrepancies, control differences, and platform-specific issues. Reviews specify testing
platforms and note significant variations.
Update Tracking
Major post-launch updates that substantially alter gameplay, performance, or
content trigger review updates. Each review displays version tested and last update date. Significant
changes warrant revised analysis rather than leaving outdated assessments published.
Disclosure Requirements
Any relationship with developers, publishers, or platform holders is disclosed
prominently at review beginning. Affiliate links are clearly marked. Editorial independence is maintained
regardless of commercial relationships.
Accessibility Evaluation
Every review includes dedicated accessibility analysis consulting established
frameworks and input from disabled gamers. We document specific features, note gaps, and evaluate
implementation quality beyond checkbox feature lists.
