When it comes to my reviews, I use Steam as a convenient way to leave notes for myself about what I thought of a game while trying it out. I often get games and potentially simply change my mind on wanting to play through the game fully at that moment. That's why I simply leave a review, uninstall the game, and then come back to it when I feel like it.

Sometimes Steam sort of feels like a second job when you force yourself to play certain games just because "you bought them". Your enjoyment of that game and your thoughts on it may get impacted by secondary factors that the game had no influence over. That is why simply taking some time off from those games that I lost the willingness to play, will eventually bring me back to them to play as much as I initially planned.

For example, Papers, Please – I love this game, I love its art style. Heck, I watched the OG YouTubers play through the game back when it first came out and have deeply looked into Lucas Pope's past as a game developer, all of which have made me ever so confident in the fact that I love this game no matter what. And yet, after playing through the entire story once, I was simply burnt out. I simply took some time off and then come back to it when I were ready.

I likewise treat leaving reviews as a small hobby. It feels really fulfilling to be able to leave your thoughts on your experiences. And with the general Steam culture of interacting with other people's posts and thoughts, no other gaming platform can really compare as the ideal platform to leave your thoughts on a product. That said, no matter what other people may think of my reviews, I am not writing them to state facts; I am trying to convey the feelings I felt while playing through the game.


(I could also use twitter, but I genuinely doubt that the people on that platform can feel anything)

The marching clock of time terrifies me for many reasons
but one of them is having to see this game limp along not in grace
but rather despondently ambivalent to how erratic its development has become

No more Christmas re-balances, no more experimental game modes and, I know it's not over.
I know the game will probably, eventually get big updates
but that is now an outlier to the static, unchanging, undying status quo.

I love TF2 and I miss it
