How YuvalGG will review games and gear

A review on this site has to be usable. It should say who the thing is for, what it does well, and where it fails.

What a review includes

Every review answers three questions:

• Who is this for?
• What did the time with it actually show?
• What would make a different person skip it?

Scores are optional. Those three answers are not. A score without the answers is a thumbnail.

Time spent

A game review says how the game was played: the mode, the platform, and whether the time was enough to see the loop. A gear review says what was tested and what was not. Untested claims stay out.

Sponsored reviews

A sponsored review of Yuval’s own says so at the top. Paid links on those reviews use rel="sponsored". The label is not a footer surprise. Guest posts are not marked as sponsored.

Payment does not remove the three questions. If a sponsor wants a review that hides a failure, the review does not run.

Corrections

If a fact is wrong, the article is updated and the updated date changes. The old claim does not stay up because it was already published.
