This review reads in a somewhat stilted fashion, but that's not typically an issue in this case because the detached tone also allows for the text to have proper authority (as it should, when you're discussing so much interesting trivia in detail). I felt that the bit about the end, with suggestions for how the game might be improved, felt a bit off because you're talking about a game that has already received at least the one direct sequel you mention, a game also hailing from a franchise that hasn't been updated in years. And yet, I wouldn't have minded seeing a bit more opinion injected throughout, if you felt so inclined. Your bit about tricks to compete against cowardly players was a good example of the sort of thing that might have made the read a bit more lively. Overall, it's a very strong review that I enjoyed reading. I think most readers will, if they approach it from the proper mindset. So while I've pointed to things that didn't feel quite right to me personally, don't think I'm saying the review is faulty. It's clearly not.


"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Thanks for the feedback! I sometimes worry if my writing style comes off as lacking in emotion, due to the fact that I generally avoid writing in the first person, but I’m happy to hear that you liked the review.
