While it started as a joke I am actually considering to start a gaming blog for gamers over 30 who cannot avoid life.

Review criteria will be

  • does the game remind me of the controls?
  • can I get a summary what happened and what I’m supposed to do?
  • can I pick it up for 30-60 minutes and have fun?

Weekly summary of all posts will be sent on Friday evening.

It’s far from a fully thought out concept, but I like the idea and think this is a niche not well served.

@fallenhitokiri be sure to include if it’s kid friend and/or multiplayer with spouse/partner/kids

@frank oh I really like this idea!

To clarify, with “kid friendly” do you mean accessibility for a kid to understand the game / controls or a recommendation if a game is appropriate for certain age groups?

frank,

@fallenhitokiri I think both really. Often I find the official "For 13 and up" to be fairly conservative both in terms of appropriateness and just plain ability to play.

@frank I agree that they are often a bit conservative.

Personally I think I’d have a hard time making a good recommendation, especially for an international audience.

Would a few screenshots, one or two quotes and a summary be helpful? „These are the outfits of the main protagonist (if they show some skin), a character sometimes uses the F word and there’s a demon in the game“

@fallenhitokiri yeah that would be helpful. There is a big difference between realistic blood and gore that almost made ME throw up and “there is some 8-bit Minecraft blood when you head shot a character”

@fallenhitokiri is the main story beatable in 10-20 hours? What are the actual game mechanics? I love the idea.
