!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It’s either a completely truthful breakdown about what makes the game not worth it, or a wackadoodle comment about the dumbest thing possible.
I'll admit to being someone who dislikes most Larian games (DoS, BG3). I've written reviews from the perspective of a casual gamer who finds overly complicated or mechanically overwhelming games to simply be too much. You say those things here and you get destroying by the hivemind, but it's fair for someone to say "I didn't like this game for the following reasons." Not all players are looking for the same thing.
I like to leave compliments about the games as well, because there are some great storytellers or unique things about games that should be celebrated even if you didn't like the final product.
Those are the reviews that are good! Acknowledge what you are/like, and then say why it did/didn't meet what you prefer. I prefer negative reviews because they're usually more specific and I can pick out what I will enjoy or be turned off by in a game.
