Share your Steam Curator and Review Group

[Cracktus Jack]

Since many Guildmembers have their personal Steam Group and Curator for their reviews, or are part of a group of reviewers, this thread is the perfect place for you to share it with the rest of the Guild.

Furthermore, we will be pick a random Review Group and Curator each month to feature in a monthly Guild Announcement to give you more visibility.

Just make sure to post your to http://steamcommunity.com/groups/XXXXXXXXXX or your http://store.steampowered.com/curator/XXXXXXXX links with a small description of in what way your group is unique and what you like about it! While there's no specific format, here's an example:

CJ's Opinions is a group I founded for the sole purpose of allowing the few that are interested to keep up with my reviews to do so. I don't actively send invites, unless someone I don't know sends me a friends request (so I assume they found me through a review of mine).

Group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/CJsOpinions
Curator: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/25320903

I maintain an alphabetical catalog of all the games I reviewed in a pinned post, and post an announcement in the Steam Activity log to allow members to be informed of any new review I write. Members are also welcomed to comment past reviews or make suggestions on the next game I should review.

This thread is primarely meant to share Steam Groups and Curators. However, if you also has a website or YouTube channel, you're welcomed to include its url alongside your Curator's.

Citizen,

My Steam Curator Group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Atratzu_Reviews

The Group itself isn't really used, so I don't sweat people joining or leaving, that's no big deal. I will make announcements whenever I release a particularly big heavily edited review for my youtube channel... but other then that, steam hasn't given much incentive for me to really "grow" a community via steam groups. (It's a means to an end, I won't notice comments on anything for potential weeks or months. haha)


Curator/Follow HUB: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/8395159/

Following the Curator is how you get updates on written steam reviews in your Steam Activity Feed. Although my writing activity ebbs and flows, depends on how fast I beat games and write up reviews for them. Often times they're complimentary to video reviews I've been making.


Most of my attention has shifted to my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/atratzu

I feel far more free and expressive when crafting video reviews... I did go to school for graphic design and video editing, so this is right up my alley for my own skill set. Also I can review whatever I want, not just products I own on my steam account. It also gives me an outlet to still review games where the reviews are broken because the game's timer is broken because of launchers etc.

I appreciate any views and comments I get on my work. I (usually) work very hard on any type of content I produce. (I say "usually", because sometimes I experiment, but I'm always descriptive and precise and explain my objectives and goals.)

Thanks in advance!

Alright, so I originally created this curator page (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/CritHitEnt) as a supplement to my youtube page, and for me to review stuff that we weren't touching on the page. That said ,I recently started to showcase some of the games we've also been reviewing on the YT (An example of some of our work, and a link to the page is as follows :: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y44mI4dccxo&t=6s).

Thematically, the Video links are pretty much always going to be for indie games - Because that's what our main focus is. That said, whilst it will be majoritarily Indie, there will at least be small written reviews smattered throughout for 'bigger' titles- They just won't have multimedia support, since they aren't a primary focus. There's already enough people covering those and giving them attention, whereas in the Indie Niche, it's always pretty simple to find stuff that falls between the cracks.

Also, We have a discord :: https://discord.gg/frR8YAS <--Here

Greetings! Thanks for the invite, Athravan. I already feel at home here.

Twistorian reviews is my curator group, that I created a while back but only recently (i.e. yesterday) managed to post all my previous reviews there.

I'm a completionist, and my principle is that I review everything that I complete, preferably getting 100% achievements. I always try to give an insight about gameplay, visuals, story (if any), controls, difficulty, and replayability. I don't give any points or stars, as I feel they are vague, instead opting for praise or criticism as applicable.

Personally, I'm a 30-year old guy working as a space scientist. A total nerd, so to say, which probably reflects in some of my reviews.

I play and review lots of platformers, puzzle games and some visual novels as well. I also enjoy RPGs, strategy and adventure games but they often take more time and, so they get reviewed more seldomly. I enjoy atmospheric adventures and intriguing puzzles the most.

Hi, I'm 'b and I review games/make videos in my free time. My videos are silly but I'm quite proud of them. Currently working on a series called Reps 4 Deaths. The idea is simple, as a punishment I must do exercise for every in game death... and I'm playing Dark Souls.

Link to my channel and all my positive reviews can be found here: 'b Reviews

I created this group to serve as a platform for people to:
-discuss games they enjoyed
-share their experiences
-get to meet new people
-organize gaming sessions

I welcome everyone* to my group

[UN0W3N]

Hello everyone!

I rarely indulge in self-promotion but I've decided to give it a shot anyway. Until now, my writings have pretty much spoken for themselves. I'm still going to admit the benefits of having more group members and followers. Afterall, I'm not posting reviews just for myself or for the devs/pubs/PR folks who were kind enough to offer me a press copy of their project(s). New readers and constantly increasing exposure, are the decisive factors for my unceasing efforts.

When I started writing Steam reviews in 2016, I honestly never thought I'd be reaching this point. For me, reviewing is now a hobby second in importance only to gaming itself. In more ways than one, these two complement each other and it's always a pleasure to write about my interests in this online environment that can also cater to my need for relative anonymity. UN0W3N, U.N. Owen and so on. Wordplays for "Unknown". I like to keep it this way since I'm here on Steam to enjoy my hobbies, not making a name for myself.

No topic or genre is out of my reach. I consider adaptability to be the defining trait of any review writer worth his/her salt. Perhaps some of you are already acquainted with my published works. If not, I will share a few links for both my Steam group, Imperial Reviews and an associated website, The Inner Circle Games Network.

Thank you all for your support!

Visual novel, JRPG, Anime was founded by Plutia who has recently returned as an officer of the group to share information on a niche segment consisting of visual novels, Japanese role-playing games, games with anime and anime videos. The group curator aims to collect, showcase and highlight games with attractive artwork and game soundtracks as an alternative fan group for this segment of Steam users and gamers and I like the group very much for this reason after taking over as owner last year. The group also recently partnered with Sinical Anime Network to have access to external website resources and showcase anime screenshots, artwork, videos and game soundtracks to add further value to reviews.

Hey guys! I just remade my old Steam curator group/page and I'd really appreciate it if you guys could join/follow.

I post in depth and most importantly honest reviews for games from every genre.

Hiya!

I started my curator group after months of debating whether to do it and last year I took the plunge and did! I never really hook on to just one genre, I really just see what I'm interested in and play it (I might even play games in genres I don't like), so my curator reflects that.

Hello fellow reviewers :)

I recently decided to have my own curator list and group to share my love of Point & Click, Hidden objects games (HOGs )which I enjoy the most. I also love and play games with rich stories this is why you'd find me reviewing text-based games. I only featured my positive reviews in my list which I called Feena's choice.

I'd like to post the curator for a group that I am an administrator at. The members of the group provide all the reviews for any type of game, we have no certain types of games we review. The group is a private group called Adult Elite Gamers. We try to post our best reviews if multiple people submit a review for one game. As of right now we have 221 followers and 320 reviews. Our Admins and Mods have been working hard to improve our curator the last 6 months and have added a lot of followers and reviews during that time.

our curator NEKOS! does not have unusual theme, aside from being a group named after cats, but we do specialize in wasting our time playing games, and of those games, we do tell you if they're good or bad. We have a wide variety of genres, and are not restricted simply to steam, as nonsteam games are reviewed on our tumblr.

I play all kinds of games, but turn-based strategy is one of my favorite genres. I'm a curator in in Turn-Based Tactics, a group that has one of the most extensive lists and reviews of games of this type imo.

We have weekly updates, very rigorously curated reviews, and even devs stopping by our forums to get player feedback.

If you like this genre, feel free to join and follow:

Hey all! Check out our group/curation if you have time!

The purpose of this group is not only to recommend great games as well as share that knowledge whilst steering clear of asset flips, cash grabs, and outright terrible software, but also to bring awareness and exposure to some truly great games from passionate devs who simply don't have access to the marketing budget that some other developers/publishers do.

There are giveaways from time to time on steamgifts as numbers climb for followers - and I also do exclusive group giveaways. Not much, but you'll see non-bundle stuff creep in from time to time as a thanks for being a part of our group!

GOOD INDIE FREE GAME REVIEWS

With more care taken for SEO than sense, this curator group is here to scoop-up a rag-tag collection of titles: free, on-sale, indie, no-reviews. These are jewels to my raven's eye. Many sparklers, some stinkers. All reviews short and succinct, with a high pun ratio.

Mostly harmless.

[Paikia]

I've just started my own curator group here. I'm planning on adding to it most of my reviews, specifically the ones I think are worthy of it.

My focus is JRPGs, city/finance simulators ("tycoons"), platformers and fantasy games in general.

Any feedback will be appreciated.
